NFS issue

[dictum9]

Trying to create a make_recovery archive, but having an NFS issue. Trying to mount the directory by hand also results in permission denied.


# /opt/ignite/bin/make_net_recovery -n 1 -A -s server

. . .

Permission denied
ERROR: Unable to mount or write server:/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/client
On server you may need to:
mkdir -p /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/client
chown bin:bin /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/client

If the OS on server is 11.31 or later, vi /etc/dfs/dfstab. The /etc/dfs/dfstab file on
"server" should contain the entry: "share -F nfs -o sec=sys,anon=2,rw=
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/client". Where is replaced by a fully qualified client name.
After editing the /etc/dfs/dfstab file, run "shareall -F nfs"
If you need to change the owner of the directory,
you will also need to re-share the directory.

Otherwise, vi /etc/exports. The /etc/exports file on "server" should contain the entry:
"/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/client -anon=2,access=client".
After editing the /etc/exports file, run exportfs -av
If you need to change the owner of the directory,
you will also need to re-export the directory.

See make_net_recovery(1M) for more information.

Hi,
The error message is clearly telling you the solution also. Please check it.


mkdir -p /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/client
chown bin:bin /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/client

If the OS on server is 11.31 or later, vi /etc/dfs/dfstab. The /etc/dfs/dfstab file on
"server" should contain the entry: "share -F nfs -o sec=sys,anon=2,rw=
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/client". Where is replaced by a fully qualified client name.
After editing the /etc/dfs/dfstab file, run "shareall -F nfs"
If you need to change the owner of the directory,
you will also need to re-share the directory.

Otherwise, vi /etc/exports. The /etc/exports file on "server" should contain the entry:
"/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/client -anon=2,access=client".
After editing the /etc/exports file, run exportfs -av
If you need to change the owner of the directory,
you will also need to re-export the directory.

Thanks,
Shan.

What he said.

Basically,

1. make sure the default archive path exists and has "bin:bin" permissions.

2. make sure the same path is NFS exported correctly (different method for 11.31)
