install soft via DVD on remote machine..NFS ??

[DE DYN]

I have a J5600 WS with CD drive. I would like to install sw coming on DVD trough a DVD on a remote machine. My WS run HP-UX11i the remote machine also. Is it possible to mount the DVD via NFS, if Yes how to do that.
Here is wat I've done.
Remote machine:
- update /etc/exports --> add
/dvdrom -ro -root=[host local]
- exportfs -a

Result of showmount -e :
/dvdrom -root=[host local]

Local machine:
mount [remote]:/dvdrom [mount point]
Result= Permission denied

Thanks for your suggestion

Shalom,

By default nfs might be blocking root mounts. I need to actually see /etc/exports to find troublesome issues. no_root_squash option may be required. Check the system log of the server and permissions on the DVD mountpoint.

If the software can be installed with swinstall, then you do not need to use nfs mount the DVD remotely. You can mount the cd/dvd locally and run swinstall on remote server with something like:
swinstall -s server1:/SDCDROM

on server1 you need to configure swacl
# swacl -l host > /tmp/myacl
edit myacl, add a line "user:root@server2:crwit"
# swacl -l host -F /tmp/myacl

If the software cannot be installed by swinstall, you can try pfs_mount

1. nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
2. nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
3. Edit /etc/pfs_exports
/mountpoint -access=server2
4. pfs_exportfs -a
5. pfs_mount server1:/mountpoint
To unmount:
6. pfs_umount server1:/mountpoint

man pfs_mount, man pfs_exports

Thanks but if I try to mount a disk with root account...It works fine

[DE DYN]

Thanks, but the sw needed to be installed is a third party software and can't be installed via swinstall.
Regarding pfs I've read in this forum that pfs is not recommended:

OK, then try to edit your /etc/exports like this:

/dvdrom anon=0,ro,access=server2

[DE DYN]

I have always permission denied ...
the showmount cmd for dvd give
/dvdrom anon=0

did you mount the dvd locally?
