NFS mount from VAX 6.3 to HP_UX 11.0

[Belinda Dermody]

Has anyone have any expierence nfs mount a VAX file system to a Unix system. We have done the reverse.

Our VAX administrator says she has share the drive out as

I have exported the following dsk_worker:[opscommon.mailings] as "/syshold/dsk_worker/opscommon/mailings"

when I tried a NFS mount as
mount -F nfs mauai:/syshold/dsk_etc.... /mnt

I receive the following error msg
Aspen: / mount -F nfs maui:/syshold/dsk_worker/opscommon/mailings /mauai_mnt
nfs mount: get_fh: maui:/syshold/dsk_worker/opscommon/mailings server not responding : RPC: Authentication error; why = Invalid client credential
nfs mount: get_fh: maui:/syshold/dsk_worker/opscommon/mailings server not responding : RPC: Authentication error; why = Invalid client credential
nfs mount: retry: retrying(1) for: /mauai_mnt after 5 seconds
nfs mount: retry: giving up on: /mauai_mnt

On my Unix box I have nfs mounts from NT and other Unix systems.

But this is the first time trying a VAX system.

Shalom James,

It should work like any other system. Your NFS is probably version 2 or 3 which is probably compatible with the vax system's nfs client, since nfs is standards based and released pretty much by committee.

Your /etc/exports file may contain limitations on what host can access the share. You will need to modfiy /etc/exports to accommodate that and then:

exportfs -av

This should solve the problem.

Can I see the exact entry in /etc/exports?

The brakets are a bit unusual. Perhaps you should try something more generic and then tighten up things after you confirm connectivity.

Steven, I do not export anything from my HP-UX 11.0 system, I just nfs mounts that are either exported from other Unix systems or shared on a NT system, so my exports file is empty

I am also running nfs 3
