mounting openVMS file system on unix

[Joseph Huber_1]

Seems You have not configured NFS server.
@sys$manager:tcpip$config

Then use servers->nfs menu.

My simple rule of thumb is to always treat the TCPIP utility's START SERVICE mechanism as radioactive. Given the choice, use TCPIP$CONFIG to configure, start and stop the services.

In one case I'm aware of, the use of the STOP and then START commands can effectively leave your system requiring a reboot to clear the configuration confusion that results.

Put another way, try using the menu to shut down, configure and start the NFS server here.

oh this is strange .. i just tried to create and edit a file and it works, and i can see the newly created file on openVMS so why I cant do a 'ls' command ?

Hi Sami

I'd like to knbow if your problem solved ?
I'm digging now in the internet forums ...
We get now the same kind of symptoms, trying to export a NFS VMS volume to a Solaris 10 system, to save it. After a while, during the save, the volume is in NFS time-out. I tried to unmap this volume on the VMS server, but the command freezes. We can't stop anymore the nfs process as well.

Meanwhile, we can't "ls" anymore the mounted NFS volume content on the Solaris server.

If you could solve your problem, can you tell me what was done, please ?

Thank's
