Mount NFS and Patches

[Angela L. Shepherd_1]

1. I have a filesystem nfs mounted from another machine. I added the information to my /etc/fstab file. However, I have to manually mount the file system everytime I reboot the machine. Is there a solution to this problem.

2. I downloaded the following patches from ITRC two days ago: PHKL_22030 and PHCO_21267. I tried to download them today and their not available.

Hello Angela,

1. You might want to check the syntax of the entry of the fstab file or post it here so that we can look at it.

2. The patches you mentioned are:
PHCO_21267 cumulative SAM/ObAM patch
PHKL_22030 I/O pdir, SBA
They are not likely to fix an nfs patch.
Here is a list of nfs related patches I would install:

Thank you very much.

I don't need the patches for my nfs problem. I was told that I needed these patches installed to use Fibre Channel software.

Hi Angela,

is the exported nfs file system ready (machine is booted,...) when you boot your machine?

I use automount for mounting nfs file systems. If automountd is running, you just have to add to /etc/auto_cluster something like this:

/mountpoint -rw,suid,delaylog,datainlog xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/exported_fs
(IP address)

Bye,
