nfs mount

[Willie Wright]

I want to mount a filesystem from Sun to HP-UX.

On the HP machine I added the filesystem to:
/etc/fstab
/etc/exportfs

On the Sun machine I added the filesystem to:
/etc/dfs/dfstab

I issue this command:
mount -F nfs saipc2a:/home/wwright /home/wwright/test

And get this error:
saipc2a:/home/wwright: access denied

did you do a export of nfs file systems.. what was the syntax you used in /etc/exports file..

the best way to start would be is to export it to globally and when it works ,add restrictions to it

Hi,

when you edit the /etc/exportfs on HP-UX than you have to reexport this file with:
exportfs -a

Sorry,

the file for nfs exported directories on HP-UX is /etc/exports (not /etc/exportfs)

From the NFS client, issue
#showmount -e
to ensure the server is exporting that directory.

From the server, also make sure your client is listed in the hosts database
#nslookup
#nslookup


And check the permissions of your mount point.

Thanks for the help.

The problem was in the /etc/dfs/dfstab file on the Sun machine.

I need to have the system name and domain name.

Error: /home/wwright sarena01
Fix: /home/wwright sarena01.oal.wdcs.com

Thanks once again
