Not able to mount nfs share from AIX

[Kaps_2]

Hello Everyone,

I am trying to mount an nfs share from AIX box on my HP-UX B11.11. I am getting "Unknown Error" msg. Any body have idea about this msg. Please share the solution ASAP. Also when I try to mount the same share on linux system its getting mounted without any errors.

Thanks,
Kaps

Hi Kaps,

What options you used from AIX to export the file system. Also, what options you used from HP-UX side to mount the NFS share.

Can you be more specific.

i just tried mouting nfs by given the following command

mount -F nfs -o vers=2/3 10.11.20.22:/test /test

[Rasheed Tamton]

Is there any permission issues like uid or gid on the server and the client.
What are the exportfs options on AIX side.

Hi,

Find below the /etc/exports entry in AIX

/qanfs/homes -rw

Thanks,
Kaps

hi Kaps,

Can you try to add the following line to the /etc/fstab

10.11.20.22:/test /test nfs rw,suid 0 0


and launch the command:
mount /test


Works fine here.

I think there is something that you are specifying on your command line is not supported.


revert!

/qanfs/homes -rw

and this problem is coming on to this particular system on other HP-UX, Linux system I am able to mount

[Rasheed Tamton]

What is the NFS versio on AIX.

Also, can you exportfs without the rw option. Just mention the full path of the dir in the exportfs file and export again.

Kaps
the problem assume that revers lookup issue on dns

provide the out put of
nslookup ip from both server
nslookup hostname from both server
if not correct fix it

>/qanfs/homes -rw

was that entry done manually or using smitty?

for testing purposes can you try add something similar to this and retry:
/install -sec=sys:krb5p:krb5i:krb5:dh:none,rw,root=remoteserver.mydom.mu

revert!
kind regards
