Mounting Directory on remote host

[Henry Chua]

Hi Guys,

I have a HPUX10.20b and a Sun8 system. I would like to mount a directory on Sun8 to the UX. How should I go about with it?

Say
source: /src==>"Sun's system"
to Target: /tgt ==> "UX's system"

thank q

Your first task is to make sure that the directory is exported on the Sun box -- this assumes you are using NFS. Man exportfs for those details.

Next, you need to mount the exported on the HP-UX box;

mkdir /mydir
chmod 755 /mydir
mount -F nfs remotehostname:/xxx/yyy/zzz /mydir

Man mount_nfs for those details.

You must have the NFS client services running on the HP box.

Add the directory to the /etc/exports

exportfs -av

Now you can do a remote nfs mount

mount hostname://dir /local_mountpoint

I recommand you use: NFS (network file server)
server source and target
client: SUN, UX
