Oracle installation

[Praveen Bezawada]

Hi
I am trying to do oracle installation using pfs mount. I have made the following entry in pfs_fstab
/dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /SD_CDROM pfs-rrip xlat=unix 0 0
Then i did
nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
/usr/sbin/pfs_mount /SD_CDROM

And when I run the orainst as oracle user. The process hangs and gives and output saying
NFS server not found.
I cannot kill the orainst process and I have to reboot the machine.
Does pfs mount need NFS server or client to be runnning.
Please HELP
thanks in advance

Hi Praveen,

Yes, NFS is needed for pfs_mount to operate properly.

modify the following lines in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf
NFS_CLIENT=1
NFS_SERVER=1
NUM_NFSD=4
NUM_NFSIOD=4
START_MOUNTD=1

Start the nfs server and client :
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

You should now be able to mount your CD.
