Re: How to mount NFS UNIX volume using VMS client
I've been searching for a primer but haven't found anything specific enough.
How do I translate the following UNIX commands to VMS:
1) mount engna2.bu.edu:/vol/research/eng_research_mctdata /mnt/mctdata
(is this VMS directory dnfs#:[000000]?)
2) df
(i presume show dev /mou will work similarly)
3) cd /mnt/mctdata
(set def dnfs#:[000000]?)
4) touch test.file
(create /dir test.file?)
Thanks in advance,
Carlos

Re: How to mount NFS UNIX volume using VMS client
command, any reference to the remote file
system should get the thing mounted. (Just
as a reference to "/net/node/dir/file" would
on a UNIX system.)
TCPIP SHOW MOUNT can show what's mounted (or
subject to automounting).
2) "SHOW DEVICE DNFSxx" should show free
(512-byte) blocks. On my systems:
ALP $ sho dev DNFS16
Device Device Error Volume Free Trans Mnt
Name Status Count Label Blocks Count Cnt
DNFS16: Mounted 0 URT$/ 729470 1 1
ALP $ sho dev DNFS17
Device Device Error Volume Free Trans Mnt
Name Status Count Label Blocks Count Cnt
DNFS17: Mounted 0 URT$/usr 4270322 1 1
urt# df / /usr
Filesystem 512-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on
root_device 1048576 319106 708624 32% /
usr_domain_x#usr 14628416 10358094 3730320 74% /usr
Of course, this forum de-formats all that
output into practical illegibility,
3) "set def dnfs#:[000000]" looks reasonable.
(Filling in "#" with a real value, of
course.)
4) There is no exact match for "touch" in
DCL. People have written "touch.com"
procedures to get pretty close. "CRE /DIR"
creates a directory. To create a simple
empty file, you could try something like:
COPY NL: dnfs#:[000000]test.file
or
SET DEFAULT dnfs#:[000000]
COPY NL: test.file
NL: = NLA0: = the null device (like
"/dev/null")
More device info is available using a
lexical function, F$GETDVI(). For example:
ALP $ write sys$output f$getdvi( "dnfs17", "freeblocks")
4270322
ALP $ write sys$output f$getdvi( "dnfs17", "maxblock")
14628416
HELP LEXICAL F$GETDVI
Isn't this all interesting and educational?

Re: How to mount NFS UNIX volume using VMS client
TCPIP> mount dnfs: /host=engna2.bu.edu /path="/vol/eng_research_mctdata"
%TCPIP$DNFSMOUNT-S-MOUNTED, /vol/eng_research_mctdata mounted on _DNFS27:[000000]
TCPIP> show mount
_DNFS27:[000000] mounted
ENGNA2.BU.EDU:/vol/eng_research_mctdata
TCPIP> exit
$ set def dnfs27:[000000]
$ show def
DNFS27:[000000]
%DCL-I-INVDEF, DNFS27:[000000] does not exist
What did I type incorrectly or should this work?
Thanks!

Re: How to mount NFS UNIX volume using VMS client
result). The local analogue works on my
system, of course.
I assume that:
1) The UNIX file system is suitably exported.
2) It can be NFS mounted on a non-VMS system.
What sort of UNIX system is this?
Are you working as SYSTEM on the VMS system,
or could there be a permissions problem?

Re: How to mount NFS UNIX volume using VMS client
I am logged on as SYSTEM. I can mount the volume on other UNIX systems.
The UNIX server is actually a NetApp filer (3020c). Here is the output from sho dev /mou dnfs:
Device Device Error Volume Free Trans Mnt
Name Status Count Label Space Count Cnt
DNFS27: Mounted 0 ENGNA$/vol/e 319.99GB 1 1
DNFS28: Mounted 0 MCTDATA$DISK 319.99GB 1 1

Re: How to mount NFS UNIX volume using VMS client
Could still be true.
> [...] NetApp filer (3020c) [...]
That's beyond my (limited) range of
experience.
If you get desperate, the current ECO for
TCPIP V5.4 is 5, which is higher than your 1.
No bets, but it might be worth reading the
release notes and/or installing the thing.
ftp://ftp.itrc.hp.com/openvms_patches/layered_products/alpha/
Look for "DEC-AXPVMS-TCPIP_ECO-V0504-155-4.*".

Re: How to mount NFS UNIX volume using VMS client
looks like Steven took over nicely while I was asleep.
Checking your profile, I am a little ashamed by my omisson yesterday, but here is a belated, although sincerely meant:
WELCOME to the VMS Forums!!!
I think there is one more general note I should add:
HELP
in VMS really DOES help! It is very good (although not completely perfect), and in pretty reasonable human-readable English.
Lots of utilities (amongst them TCPIP) even have their own HELP, so
TCPIP HELP
or for example
MC SYSGEN HELP
provide even more.
and as you found out you can ask here.
Proost.
Have one on me.

Re: How to mount NFS UNIX volume using VMS client
"permissions problem"?
What did you do, and what happened when you
did it? Or has nothing changed since Jan 7,
2006 03:49:36 GMT?
Have you installed the latest TCPIP ECO?
