How to Mount a Remote Linux System Drive to a HP-UX system

[Eric Scherer]

Can anyone assist me in finding the correct command and syntax to mount an external Linux system drive onto a HP-UX system? Thank you.

Eric,

You can mount using NFS, export the linux drive/filesystem and mount the drive/filesystem on hpux.

Example:

1. Mount the drive in a filesystem on Linux.
# mount /dev/cxtxdx /drive1
2. Export the /drive1 on Linux System.

3. Create a mount directory on hp-ux system:
# mkdir /drive1
4. On hp-ux system:
# mount -F nfs linux:/drive1 /drive1


Cheers,
Raj.

Eric,

When you export the drive or filesystem on linux , you need to check in /etc/exports file,

Shalom,

Same as any other drive.

You can make a samba share in linux and mount with cifsclient on HP-UX or use NFS.

Just configure the Linux mountpoint in /etc/exports or smb.conf and restart the appropriate service.

if your talking about mounting a linux disk directly on an hpux system, that cannot be done.

Dear Sir,

Possible ways if NfS export on linux server and mount it on hp.

hi Eric,

you can also enter the following line in your fstab:

:/d01 /mnt/linuxserver nfs rw,suid 0 0


where is the IP address or alternatively the hostname of your linux server - assuming it is already in the /etc/hosts.

/d01 is the file system that you are trying to mount

/mnt/linuxserver is the mount point which should be a valid directory existing before the mount command.

to mount the remote file system you can then just run the following command:
mount /mnt/linuxserver


hope this helps!

kind regards
