how to update nfs mount (on the client)

[Suresh Ramakrishnan]

Hello All,

I am relatively new to HP-UX and trying to explore everyday, at present I am trying to update the node name of one of the nfs mount we have and unsure if these steps are correct.

1. Unmount the mounted nfs filesystem
2. edit the /etc/fstab and change the nodename
3. remount the nfs filesystem again using mount -a.

Let me know if I am missing something or do I need to remove the nfs and have to recreate it again?

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean node name? You mean the name of the server? Or the filesystem on a server?

Your steps seem fine.
Are you trying to change the mount from one server to another?

Hi,

>2. edit the /etc/fstab and change the nodename

nodename must be the name of the server that exported the file system.

Do the following steps:-

1. Umount the NFS FS
2. Edit the /etc/fstab entry.
3. Check and verify /etc/exports file on NFS server whether its having proper entry for the server where you need NFS mount points.
4. Run the command on NFS server

exportfs -a

5. Then on other server run

mount -a

Thanks & Regards
