pfs mount and nfs

[shreejesh]

Hi,
I am having rp4440 and rp2470 servers. I want to install Oracle Apps on to rp2470. So I mounted the oracle CD on rp4440 using pfs_mount (as the contents were coming in upper-case). Then I tried exporting the /cdrom mount point to rp2470. Can anyone help me to get the commands to export a filesystem mounted with pfs_mount?

Thanks & Regards,
Shreejesh.

There are many threads about such problems.

Try mounting as follows.

mount -o rr,cdcase /dev/dsk/cxtxdx /cdrom

Remotely mounting PFS format file system

ON THE SERVER SIDE:

a. create /etc/exports with: /cdrom -ro
b. /usr/sbin/exportfs -av
WARNING!!! before exportfs you have to pfs_umount the cd and mount it
again after the exportfs command
c. nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
d. nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
NOTE: use ( #ioscan -funC disk ) to find the device name.
e. add the filesystem to /etc/pfs_fstab as follows : /dev/dsk/c0t2d0
/cdrom pfs-iso9660 ro,suid 0 0
f. add the filesystem to /etc/pfs_exports as follows : /cdrom -ro
g. pfs_exportfs -a
h. pfs_mount /cdrom

ON THE CLIENT SIDE :

a. nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
b. nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
c. add the filesystem to /etc/pfs_fstab as follows :
:/cdrom /test pfs-nfs ro,hard,fg 0 0

Note: do not need to do this if entered in /etc/pfs_fstab , # pfs_mount /test
d. pfs_mount -o xlat=unix remotesystemA:/cdrom /test

Note: to unmount use : # pfs_umount /test

GOOD LUCK!!

do no tuse pfs!
You should use the normal mount commands with the option to mount in lowercase
