Mounting files from pcnfs client on HP-UX 11.11 using automount

We are running a server with HP-UX 11.11. While mounting the file system from windows server using NFS is fine. But the same thing we try to acomplish using automounts, it fails. We have the following entry in in auto_master file
/v /etc/auto.v
And we add the following info /etc/auto.v
xyz winserver:/abc
and when we do ls /v/xyz it hangs for ever.
we are able to mount explicitly the same thing as
mount -F nfs winserver:/abc /v/xyz.
Thanks.

Hi,

I suspect you're using tcp protocol only on the pc but use udp as default an the HP.
Try in auto_master
/v /etc/auto.v -proto=tcp

or in auto.v
xyz -proto=tcp winserver:/abc
