Setup CIFS Client on HP-UX

[Kurt_32]

Hi,

I have a share on W2k server that I want to mount on HP-UX using CIFS. This is what I have done so far:

1. I have set the variable to 1 in /etc/rc.config.d/cifsclient file.
2. Executed /sbin/init.d/cifsclient start.
3. Mounted it using cifsmount //yyzwinfs1/yyzwinfs/data/groups/itdfiles /itdfiles
4. Then mount -v verified it.

Now when I try to cd into it, I get:

NFS access failed for server yyzwinfs1: RPC: Remote system error
sh: /itdfiles: The specified directory is not valid.

Please help.
Kurt.

My OS is 11.11 but I do not have that patch. Would applying that patch resolve the issue....

[Kurt_32]

A.01.09 is the CIFS client version.

[Kurt_32]

1.21 is the CIFS client version.

You will need to setup /config /etc/opt/cifsclient/cifsclient.cfg

most notably:

domain = "YOURDOMAIN" // domain name sent to server
guestUser = "root"

[Kurt_32]

I still get exactly the same error message. Note that I have not applied the patch yet.

[Alzhy]

Have you checked if

//yyzwinfs1/yyzwinfs/data/groups/itdfiles

is world readble/mountable?

Can you mount on a real windows machine?

[Kurt_32]

Yes, that server directory is mapped on my XP machine.

Hi,

yyzwinfs1 is your windows host?

Do you have in /etc/fstab ?
yyxwinfs1:/yyzwinfs/data/groups/itdfiles /itdfiles cifs defaults 0 0

You can mount this form?

# mount -F cifs yyxwinfs1:/yyzwinfs/data/groups/itdfiles /itdfiles

or # mount -aF cifs

You can login ?

# /opt/cifsclient/bin/cifslogin yyzwinfs1 user_name

Try access your filesystem after login.

If you still have problem, give output for:

# /opt/cifsclient/bin/cifslist -A

And you can see if you have access permissions.

Yes, that's what I have in my fstab. I try mounting it manually and through fstab, same issue...

root@yyzdvdev:/home/root> cd /itdallfiles
NFS access failed for server yyzwinfs1.corp.ds.fedex.com: RPC: Remote system error
sh: /itdallfiles: The specified directory is not valid.

Do I need any special configuration on the Windows server ??

[Steven E. Protter]

Shalom Kurt,

You need to apply all relavent patches and dependencies. Then you need to create a machine account on the Windows box for your server and then try a cifsmount or smbmount command with appropriate server name and user id and password.

If there is an error at that point an ITRC or google search or another post to this thread will probably yeild you a specific solution.

"3. Mounted it using cifsmount //yyzwinfs1/yyzwinfs/data/groups/itdfiles /itdfiles"

Could this be your problem? I tried that here on a world readable share:

# cifsmount //fileserver/shared/support /cifs/test
DOS: Share not exported by server
# cifsmount //fileserver/shared

I can mount \\fileserver\shared\support on my windows machine as a network drive.

are you sure that the share is exported as //yyzwinfs1/yyzwinfs/data/groups/itdfiles and not as //yyzwinfs1/yyzwinfs ? In my experience, Windows will allow you to mount any point in the directory structure, but CIFS will not.
