hp-ux directories on NT

[Keith Williams_2]

I would like to back up some directories on my HP9000 to the backup device attached to a WIN2000 server. I need to be able to map a drive on the win2000 server to the unix directories. I would appreciate nay help...

Install CIFS/Samba on your system. Add the directories of unix you want to share in the smb.conf file and also do the necessory changes in your unix box. Start the snmb and
nmbd daemons.

Now you will be able to map the unix shared drive in your win2000 servers just like maping other win2000 server's directory.

Well, one of the quickest ways I can think of is to install Samba (CIFS 9000/Server) on your HP box and create a share that you can access on your Win2K box...

You need to install CIFS/samba on unix system. The following processes should run on the Unix system

smbd (sorry.... I mistyped in my previous one..)
nmbd

Here's the page for HP's CIFS/9000 Server which is the product you need.

http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=B8725AA

Note that it is a FREE download.

Also note that CIFS is for HP-UX 11.0 and 11.11

I am running Ultrabac on the 2k server. Great product--I am a little leary loading anything to the HP-I am still running 10.2 also. I was hoping there was a way to accomplish this w/o having to mess with the HP.

hi,

if you have a lot of space on the win2k side i would use rsync to bring the files to the w2k server, or a combination of rsync and tar.

Keith,

CIFS/9000 is only available for 11.x. However, the regular old SAMBA product runs fine on 10.20. It's very painless ... it doesn't add drivers to the kernel, for instance, so it's pretty safe to install.

Really, SAMBA is the best way to go in your case. www.samba.org for starters. :)

Hummingbird has a product called NFS Maestro that I have used on several occasions to map an NT drive to a UNIX directory and vice/versa that may give you the functionality that you are looking for.

I've basically used it to mount my cdrom so that the HP box could see the drive via NFS and access files on the CDROM.
