NFS Problem

Madhu_17 — Tue, 02 Aug 2005 01:04:40 GMT

Hello Gurus,

I am trying to mount a fs from Solaris 2.6 to HP-UX 10.20.

I could able to mount and read-write the filesystem. But i am not getting root access to that NFS filesystem even though i specified root=nfs client name at the share command.

Pls suggest me.

Thanks

hi,

How many NIC on the Solaris?
If more than 1, try to configure all in the /etc/exports on the NFS server.

e.g.
/exportsFS root=[IP1],[IP2],[IP3]...

GOOD LUCK

Warren,

I am having only one interface and more over i have used hostname while specifying at the root option of share. I am able to ping that hostname also.

Thanks,
Madhu

Is your machine supporting root= option with share command. check with share man page first. If so try as,

Is nfs client name is resolvable from Solaris machine?

# ping

Else put ip-address hostname into /etc/hosts file.

Try as,

## Solaris machine
# share -F nfs -o root= /path to fs

## HP-UX Machine
# mkdir /mount point
# mount :/path to fs /mount point

hth.

Muthu,

I have observed that my solaris version is not supporting that root= option. is there any alternate way to get that root access?

Thanks

Muthu,

I am Sorry. My share_nfs man page is showing that root= option. That means that option is possible for my version.. right?

Thanks

If you are using root option then you have to give rw access or ro access to that host anyway.

======== share_nfs man page ===========
There are no interactions between the root= option and the
rw, ro, rw=, and ro= options. Putting a host in the root
list does not override the semantics of the other options.
The access the host gets is the same as when the root=
options is absent.

Try like,

# check resolvation of nfs client
# ping

## Solaris machine
# share -F nfs -o rw=host,root=host /

where, host is hostname of nfs client

## Hp-Ux (nfs client)
# mkdir
# mount :/ /mount

hth.

Muthu,

Thanks for your response. I tried the options given by you for the share command. But interestingly I am getting access denied error message while mounting the fs at NFS client.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

How did you try to mount it? Is hostname resolved from nfs client to server. Plz post the syntax and exact error message you are getting in hp-ux client.

hth.

Muthu,

Yes. I could able to resolve the solaris box.

#mount :/ /mount

I got the below error message.
":/" access denied.

If i remove that -o=rw option from share command at solaris box, i am not getting this error and i could able to mount and write w/o any problem, except for that root privilege.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks,

Sorry. Option i used for share command is -o rw=HP Box.I believe i am not doing any mistake while executing all these commands.

Is there any problem mounting from Solaris 2.6 to HP-UX 10.20?
