Hi
Go to doc.hp.com and do a search for
"nfs administrator's guide"

It will give you the detailed instructions for the different hpux os version.

Hi Wish,

There is requirement of some planning before doing it. The common questions which you need to answer before asking the specific procedure include

1. What is the OS version of server and clients?

2. What is the no. of clients?

3. What is the capacity of the server?

4. How much will be the usage of file systems?

You cal also opt for advanced NFS options like autofs, nfs over tcp and NFS Version3 etc.

Here is the relevant documentation for your information

Hi,

This will not matter much if there is only one client. Have a look at the various methods mentioned in this thread. You can use any one of these

hi wish,

you can easily do that using SAM,

SAM -> Networking and Communications
-> Networked File Systems
-> Exported Local Filesystems
then
Actions --> Add Exported File Systems


And on the opposite side, you do the same except:
Actions --> Add Remote File System

hope this helps too!

kind regards
