Problem with SUN

Ericc_1 — Wed, 24 Mar 2004 00:56:15 GMT

We use SUN Solaris 7 as a server and the file can FTP to NAS 1200s but cannot mount the drive to it. We want to automate instead FTP the file manually. Any solution on that? Please help

Ericc,

Do you mean to say that you want to mount a directory that is exported from SUN to NAS1200?? That should be possible if you have shared the directory using share command or by adding an entry in /etc/dfs/dfstab & executing shareall

We don't want to share a directory at the SUN box but to share the NAS 1200s' directory to SUN. What we did is from NAS,we've created the shared directory to SUN box. When we do a sun command's mount -f nfs to the mount directory already created in NAS, we get the mounted directory but we can't access to the directory because the owner's right has changed to nobody.

Thanks and regards,

I guess NAS 1200 uses Windows Storage Server. If yes open the properties of the folder that you want to share and click on NFS Sharing

NFS Sharing - Share this folder - click on permissions - Add - type the IP of SUN box - click OK - select type of access as Read Write - Enable Allow root access check box -

Now unmount and remount the directory on SUN .. you should be able to access it ..

we tried that many times but cannot. Does the Sun box model compatible to the NAS 1200s? FYI, the SUN box model is E3500 and running on Solaris version 5.7. Is there any issue or patches need to apply to Sun box in order to communicate to NAS 1200?

Sun model has nothing to do with this problem. As long as it runs the NFS client service any UNIX box for that matter should be able to communicate with NAS 1200 as the underlying mechanism NFS is not too specific to the OS variant.

Are you able to mount NFS shares on this SUN machine other than NAS 1200? If not check if the NFS is running. Also try enabling anonymous access on the NAS 1200 for the directory being shared ..
