NFS

Is NFS something I would need to purchase seperately for both UX10.20 and UX 11.00? I will be using it to transfer data from our 'old' UX10.20 box to our 'new' UX11.00 machine.

Any info much appreciated.

Thanks

The NFS toolset is included in the OSes.

NFS is by default available with HP-UX. This includes Server, Client (automount,autofs etc).
You just need to enable them in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf

That's great, thanks.
I just need to add it using swinstall then? I'm sure I read that somewhere!!

Thanks

Andy,
You don't need to add it , it should alreadyu be loaded with the OS and may just need activating by changing 0 to 1 in your /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file. Just use SAM to configure you 10.20 as a server and the add your NFS filesystems on your 11.00 system.

Hi Andy,

You don't need to swinstall NFS. It's already part of the hp-ux installation. You just need to enable it /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf and ensure the following entries are set :

NFS_CLIENT=1
NFS_SERVER=1
NUM_NFSD=4
NUM_NFSIOD=4

Hi
For using NFS on HPUX1100 you need not purchase anything seperately. I think it the same with HPUX10.20.
For mounting the filesystems of one machine on another using NFS you have to execute the below steps.
1) make an entry in /etc/exports on machine 1 and save
ex: /var -access=IPif machine2
2) do exportfs -a on machine 1 , to read the modified exports file
3) Start the nfs server on machine 1
/sbin/init.d/nfs_server start
4) start rpc.daemon
rpc.mountd
5) on machine 2 mount the filesystem
mount -F NFS -o ro machine1:/var /directoryon machine2
This will mount the /var filesystem of machine 1 on machine 2.
Hope this helps...

No..When you install the core operating system which is also called Runtime Environment
HPUXEng64RT, NFS will be included with it. Once you install the operating system, you need to enable NFS in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf by setting NSF_CLIENT=1 NFS_SERVER=1 NUM_NFSD=4 etc.,

Andy,

Thanks for your points. I feel that a person should get only 10 points max in a discussion otherwise if there are multiple questions.
