hi,
edit file /etc/exports and add the line:
/path_to_export -ro,root=remote_hostname

next check your server is configured as a nfs server, see the variable NFS_SERVER in file /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf
If this variable is 1, nfs daemons should be already running, if 0 change it and run:
/sbin/init.d/nfs.core start
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

to activate the export run exportfs -a
When you will reboot the system your exports will be available automatically.

To check what you are exporting run
exportfs

hope it helps

Hi Navin,

I don't think there is difference in 11.23 and previous versions related to /etc/exports file entry.

Put the following entry on nfs server(/etc/exports)

-ro,root=

Start the nfs services and export it.

Then mount on client and check.
