Linux mount VMS share

yyghp — Thu, 28 Oct 2004 13:00:14 GMT

I tried to mount a VMS share on a Linux server, but failed:

( on Linux server: linuxhostA )
# mount vmshostA:/ora_disk/ora_rep /repout
mount: RPC: Authentication error; why = Invalid client credential

But I can see the share with:

# showmount -e vmshostA
Export list for vmshostA:
/ora_disk/ora_rep linuxhostA

# rpcinfo -p vmshostA
program vers proto port
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 udp 111 portmapper
100003 2 udp 2049 nfs
100005 1 udp 10 mountd

Any suggestion for me?
Thanks!

/etc/exports on the target can deny access based on hostname.

First thing to do is check that on the target server and make sure you are allowed to mount the NFS share.

I am not familiar with VMS. Is there a same file called /etc/exports on VMS like UNIX ?
Thanks !

yyghp,

There is no /etc/exports on VMS. Please see the links I give you in yours equal thread in the VMS forum:

Yep,

Made an assumption. Should have said VMS equivalent of /etc/exports.

VMS can be configured to deny access based on hostname. This is the most likely cause of the issue.

You should probably close this thread, refer to it in your VMS post and give the previous post a few points.

Good Luck.
