NFS between AIX Server - OpenVMS Client

[Edwin R. van der Kaaij]

Hello All,

Could someone please help us set up NFS between AIX and OpenVMS?

We have defined the AIX as Server, OpenVMS as Client. We have followed the manuals, but have never been able to access a DNFS1:[000000] on OpenVMS and see the data on the AIX system. We can see the free disk blocks, the label etc, but when we try to access the data we get a "Login invalid at remote node"!

Would someone be so kind to list all the steps involved to set up succesful data transfer? We must be leaving something out.

Thanks very much in advance,

Edwin R. van der Kaaij.

Not too sure about the AIX side, but I got similar problems on VMS to VMS NFS shares if the UID/GID components were missing from the client mount command.

Hello All,

For whoever is interested :o)

After trying lots of different qualifiers, enabling lots of tracing etc. it appears that the mount /noadf qualifier makes things work. See the following log:
