Accessing NT directory share from HP-UX 11 server

[Jeff Arnold]

I would like to configure a share device (partition or directory) on an NT box and access the share from an HP server running HP-UX 11. How can I accomplish this? Please be specific since I am new to HP-UX.
Thanks,
J

It depends on how you want to do this... you could get SAMBA (http://www.samba.org) and install or you could buy HP's CIFS/9000 (from: http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=B8725AA )
both allow you to mount NT shares.

You could also get an NFS server to run on the NT server and nfs mount from the HPUX box.

Lastly, do a search for samba or CIFS on the forums.

Goodluck

Use the smbclient of the samba distribution.

With SAMBA you can share your HP-UX Volumes to Windows Clients and use the Windows Share on your HHP-UX Box. The dokumentation is good and you will find a lot of further information at www.samba.org.

You can get ths software also from http://hpux.connect.org.uk/. And the best of it: its free.

Hi,

for HP-UX 11.00 i would recommend CIFS/9000:
Install B8723AA CIFS/9000 Client for 9000 Servers:
http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=B8723AA

To mount a NT directory do the following:
Start cifsclient daemon:
/opt/cifsclient/bin/cifsclient start
Now you can mount:
echo | /opt/cifsclient/bin/cifsmount /// / -U -S

To unmount:
/opt/cifsclient/bin/cifsumount /
To stop cifsclient daemon:
/opt/cifsclient/bin/cifsclient stop

For information of cifsmount options use:
/opt/cifsclient/bin/cifsmount -h
