pfs_mount for hpux vs. solaris

[deepak_9]

Hi,

I am mounting a oracle 11 APPS CD in hpux11.0 by "pfs_mount" command . Then if I am exporting it from hp box tobe available for NFS mount. But the problem persists when I am trying to mount in solaris2.6 with simple mount command as "mount apps2:/cdrom /mntcdrom" , it gives me an error saying "protocol error".

Pl suggest a solution.

Hello Deepak,

I may be wrong here, but I do not see any reason for using "pfs_mount" on the APP CDs.
Use plain "mount", and the export that mount-point in "/etc/exports" and execute "exportfs -a".
HTH,

Does a read-only mount work?
mount -o ro ....

Hi

i m giving you the menual how to use the pfs_mount and exporting it but it is for hp-ux and i dont know the command that you use in solaris .

but i thing if you will do : mount -o cdcase to the oracle cd and export and mount it in the solaris it can solve the problem , please try it .

here is the menual .

Thanks a lot Eran....

I got it done by
"mount -o cdcase " syntax. It's amazing that hp-ux has such a option. Actually the purpose I was using "pfs_mount" is whenever I mount this cd with "mount" it was taking the cd contents in CAPS letters but with "-o cdcase" it's possible. Does hp only has this option or any unix flavous possess it?
