configure NFS on open vms

[itai weisman]

Hello people,
is there any way to configure Open vms server to be NFS server or client ?
Versions:
7.2-1 on axp
6.2 on axp
6.2 on vax

Itai,

you need a TCPIP product, to allow OpenVMS to act as a NFS client or server.

With TCPIP for OpenVMS, you use the procedure @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG to configure NFS (client or server). For previous versions (this product was called UCX before), use @UCX$CONFIG - available on both OpenVMS VAX and Alpha.

itai: After you have it configure, you will need to add a mount command in SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM.
An example for TCPIP V5.3 or V5.4 for a remote NFS server is:
$ tcpip mount dnfs1: /host="server_name" /struct=5 -
/background=(delay:0:1:0,retry:10) /retries=4 -
/path="/root/nfs_share/VMS"

The manuals are available on line at
http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/tcpip51.html

make sure the patch kit too.

If you upgrade to VMS V7.3-2 you could run V5.3 and if you upgrade to VMS V7.3-2 you could run V5.4 or even V5.5 on VMS V8.2

With tcpip utility you can use Open vms as server and client simultaneously. You need activate service using TCPIP$CONFIG or UCX$CONFIG (in depending of version) and create services using ADD EXPORT command on TCPIP -working as server- , and MOUNT - working as client -.
