possible solution:
nfs softmount, then after some time check whether mount point is valid and send email

Before you mount it, use script. This script will mount it, if it is not mounted, else give alert that it is mounted. Another option is to use automount.
Script like follows. (Not tested)

mount_a='servera:/dir1'
mount_b='serverb:/dir2'
mount_pt1='/some_dir1'
mount_pt='/some_dir2'

mount -p | grep '\/some_dir1'
if [$? -eq 0];then
echo "already mounted"
else
mount -F nfs servera:/dir1 /some_dir1
fi

hi,

after mounting your remote systems, you should have made it permanent by modifying your fstab accordingly so that it woould be mounted automatically next time you restart your server.

if you are not sure, use SAM -> Networking and Communications->Networked File Systems -> Mounted Remote File Systems

and mount your remote file systems!

hope this helps!

Using scripting is good.

#!/bin/ksh
mount_list="/tmp/mnt1 /tmp/mnt2"
set -A mount ${mount_list}

index=0

while [[ ${index} -lt ${#mount[*]} ]]
do

mount -p | grep -wEq "${mount[$index]}"
if [[ ${?} -eq 0 ]]
then
echo "Mount ${mount[$index]} is available"
else
echo "Mount ${mount[$index]} is not available" | mailx -s "Error: Mount" userid@domainname.com
fi

let index=index+1
done

Note: You can add mount hostA:/exportfs /mount will work too.
