Linux mount VMS share

yyghp — Thu, 28 Oct 2004 13:38:00 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!

Hi,

As the error says, there is probably an authentication error. Please see the manual entries abbout managing NFS on VMS and granting access to users:
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/732final/6526/6526pro_contents_005.html#toc_chapter_22

Maybe you need to setup access with a default user. See this paragraph in the same book:

Hi,

1) which Linux ? Be sure to specify nfs v2 or v3 on your Linux client (no V4)

2) is the export on an ODS5 disk ?

In that case specify the .dir extension in the
export and mount command :
On the NFS server:

TCPIP> ADD EXPORT "/dka200/h_so.dir"/HOST=NFSCLIENT

On the NFS client:

TCPIP> MOUNT dnfs100:/host=alpha1/path="/dka200/h_so.dir"

( see TCPIP 5.4 Release notes section 5.12.1 )

Hth,
