Mounting cdrom from linux to HPUX

[Aupee Jean-Francois]

Hi ,

I mount my cdrom (HPUX Application)
on a linux box RH7.3
#mount /dev/cdrom
#ll /mnt/cdrom => looks ok.
#exportfs -i lxsys3:/mnt/cdrom
#exportfs
/mnt/cdrom lxsys3

On the hp box (11i) :

#mount lxsys3:/mnt/cdrom /cdrom
nfs mount: get_fh: lxsys3:: RPC: Program not registered
nfs mount: get_fh: lxsys3:: RPC: Program not registered
nfs mount: retry: retrying(1) for: /cdrom after 5 seconds
nfs mount: retry: giving up on: /cdrom

So I tried :
#pfs_mountd&
#pfsd&

#pfs_mount -v -t nfs lxsys3:/mnt/cdrom /cdrom
Version: 2.9.3F (UNLIMITED) Built: Sun Jul 25 16:39:53 PDT 1999
pfs_mount: giving up on /cdrom

#ll /cdrom

Nothing mounted ...

Have you an idea ?

Best regards.

Can you check whether NFS daemons are running in Linux box. It seems to be like NFS is not running in Linux box.

Try restarting NFS daemons and export. ALso, check /var/log/messages after restarting NFS.

Hi,

Is the NFSD ( daemon ) running ?
# ps -ef | grep nfs

# /sbin/init.d/nfs.client start

Question: what is the name of your linux box and what of your HP-UX box?
You export the cdrom for usage from lxsys3. Which should be the NFS client then.
But when mounting, you specify lxsys3 as the server.

So you need to replace lxsys3 on the exportfs command or on the mount line... I think the exportfs is what you need to change.

Oh, and mind you need to run the NFS client daemons on the HP-UX box...

Thks a lot,

nfsd wasn't running on the linux box.
(thanks all)
and the export wasn't good.
(thanks elmar)

Everything is ok now !!

Best regards.
