Your English is fine!!

In SAM, set up the local directory for NFS export. On the other machine set it up for NFS import. Make sure each host has the other in /etc/hosts (or whatever hostname resolution you use).

Hope this helps!

Hi,
You can use nfs to share the dirs.
edit /etc/exports and add your dir in the server. Restart the nfs server. man exports for more details.
mount the dirs in the client to access those dirs.

HTH,

NFS is indeed what you want here. Alternative to the above, add the directory you want ot "share" to /etc/exports. This file should also contain the names of the machines that can share this directory. So for example, if your first machine is called hpuxa and the second machine is called hpuxb, then /etc/exports would look like this

/myshare hpuxb

If you want the "root" user to have access to it also, you would make it look like this

/myshare -root=hpuxb

On hpuxb you mount make a directory for example called /hpuxashare and do

mount hpuxa:/myshare /hpuxashare

You need only ensure that hpuxa has the nfs server running and that hpuxb has the nfs client. Also you might want to adjust the permissions on the directories

I forgot to add that before you do the mount you also need to do an "exportfs -a" from the hpuxa machine.

Apologies

Hi!
You can use NFS-technology. Easy way
is to do it by SAM. You have to export
needed directory from your server.
Then from other mashine you must import
it again by using SAM or command:

#mkdir /localdir
#mount -F nfs server:/shareddir /localdir

It is easy to do.
Both mashines have to be added on its
/etc/hosts-files. Check also if
your NFS-server&client is running.
If not,you could do:
#/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

Solaris HPUX

File /etc/dfs/dfstab /etc/exports

startup-script /etc/init.d/nfs.server /sbin/init.d/nfs.server

command shareall exportfs -a
share exportfs
