Problem with pfs_mount and pfs_exportfs

[FOREST Michel]

Hello everybody,
I've a big problem whith pfs_mount and pfs_exportfs command. I would like export a cd-rom from lah411 server to miahp039 server.
I do a lot of command, but they doen't work. Could anyone help me ?
I tape this command:
lah411: nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
lah411: nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
lah411: vi /etc/pfs_fstab

/dev/dsk/c1t6d0 /SD_CDROM/oracle pfs-rrip xlat=unix 0 0

lah411: vi /etc/pfs_exports
/SD_CDROM/oracle -anon=65534,ro,access=miahp039

lah411: pfs_exportfs -a
lah411: pfs_mount /SD_CDROM/oracle



miahp039: nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
miahp039: nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
miahp039: pfs_mount -o xlat=unix lah411:/SD_CDROM/oracle /SD_CDROM/oracle

The error are :
1): lah411:pfs_mount /SD_CDROM/oracle
pfs_mount: /dev/dsk/c1t6d0 on /SD_CDROM/oracle: Device busy
pfs_mount: giving up on /SD_CDROM/oracle
and nothing is exporting
2:) and when i arrive to export to link, (i don't know why it works ?), i have nothing in /SD_CDROM/oracle or i've pfs_mount -o xlat=unix lah411:/SD_CDROM/oracle /SD_CDROM/oracle
pfs_mount: access denied for lah411:/SD_CDROM/oracle.
pfs_mount: giving up on /SD_CDROM/oracle

HELP ME PLEASE ! ! !
Thaks for all.

Hi,
Well, there could be a lot of problems, but your pfs_exportfs -a should be AFTER the pfs_mount on system lah411. Try a pfs_exportfs -u /SD_CDROM/oracle and then retry in the correct order.

Also the daemons should be started like this :
nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd ???v &
sleep 10
nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd 4 ???v &
sleep 10

Sometimes you get problems when the daemons are started to quickly after each other.

Last but not least, there are patches that make it possible to use an "ordinary" mount for Oracle CD's. For 11.0 these are :
PHKL_26448
PHCO_26449
PHKL_26450

Regards,
Tom

With this patch, which command must i use ?
Thanks for all.

With the patches for PFS you just use the normal mount command for your CD (no more pfs_ commands at all!). Much easier and more reliable (pfs sometimes hangs).

How can i use commande mount_cdfs to mount oracle's cdrom on a server?
Thanks

[MANOJ SRIVASTAVA]

the excat sequence is like this :


A. Perform these steps on the local system:

1. nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &

2. nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &

3. Add the filesystem to /etc/pfs_fstab

4. Add the filesystem to /etc/pfs_exports

5. pfs_exportfs -a

6. pfs_mount /cdrom

B. Perform these steps on the remote system:

1. nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &

2. nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &

3. pfs_mount -o xlat=unix remotesystemA:/cdrom /localmnt_pnt

Hi,

after installing the three patches, do as follows:

- mkdir /cdrom
- mount -o rr /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ /cdrom
- su - oracle
- /cdrom/runInstaller
- exit # form oracle
- umount /cdrom

substitute /dev/dsk/cXtYdZ with your cd-rom's devicename, of course...

HTH,
Wodisch

I'm sorry but it doesn't work :


root@memoir:/> ioscan -fnC disk
Class I H/W Path Driver S/W State H/W Type Description
=====================================================================
disk 0 8/12.8.0 sdisk CLAIMED DEVICE SEAGATE ST34572WC
/dev/dsk/c0t8d0 /dev/rdsk/c0t8d0
root@memoir:/> mount /dev/dsk/c0t8d0 /toto
/dev/dsk/c0t8d0: unrecognized file system

What do i bad ?
Thanks.

Hi,
Are we still talking about the same problem here ? The problem in the last post is that your trying to mount a disk (not a CD-device as far as I can see) directly onto a directory. That will definitely not work ...

What exactly are you trying to accomplish ?

Tom
