NFS Help

Steven Chen_1 — Tue, 25 Oct 2005 08:49:50 GMT

I have one K server with a regular CDROM and one L server with a DVD CDROM. Oracle latest DB software only comes with DVD format and I need to install DB on K server.

It would be appreciated if someone recommend any option, like nfs, and how.

Thanks.
Steven

Edit the /etc/exports file:

/media/cdrom *(ro,async)

And, for every cd that you need to use:

Stop nfs services:

service nfs stop

Mount the device:

eject /dev/cdrom
mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom

Start nfs services.

From the client, run:

mount -t nfs server:/media/cdrom /media/cdrom

Can hpux be nfs with Linux to use the cdrom?

Yes they can. The only thing that may cause a problem is the source connection port.

If you cannot connect from HP-UX to Linux, try adding "insecure" to the exports options:

/media/cdrom *(ro,async,insecure)

I had problems with AIX and Linux and the problem was solved with this option.

Shalom Steven,

Aside: nice name. :=)

mount -t nfs erver:/media/cdrom /media/cdrom

Checklist

Try it without the -t

or add this little honey into /etc/fstab

erver:/media/cdrom /media/cdrom nfs rw,async 0 0

Then mount /media/cdrom

Make sure /media/cdrom is not having something else moutned on it locally.

The other way is just copy whole file tree from L to K using rcp/scp/rsync/ftp/etc.
