Need Help: NFS mount

[Aristos Theo]

I need to nfs mount a file system from a sun box runnind Solaris 2.6 to an
HP-UX 10.2. I get an error message that it times out when i try to do this
mount through the sam utility.

Is NFS set up on the HP box? Check /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf. Is the client
set to 1? If you ps -ef | grep biod are there any running. If not, set the
NFS_CLIENT=1, then run /sbin/init.d/nfs.client start.

For more information, see http://docs.hp.com/hpux/communications and Installing
and Administering NFS Services

If the HP is the client and the Sun if the server. Try the following.

On HP machine

showmount -e Sun_hostname

If this timeout then the Sun machine is not running mountd daemon. Start mountd
on Sun machine /usr/lib/nfs/mountd

If showmount works and you still cannot mount then this more than likely an
access problem. Check the /etc/dfs/sharetab man share and man sharetab. Maybe
remove permissions for testing.

If the HP is the server and Sun is the client.

Check following are running
portmap
rpc.mountd
biod
nfsd

Run showmount -e HP_hostname if this works then check permissions on exported
directories in file /etc/exports

Hope this is of some use
