VMS client mounting nfs directory from HP-UX

[Mike Smith_33]

I am working on setting up an nfs mounted drive on VMS that is being exported from HP-UX. Initially I met with sucess in mounting the drive but I was unable to access the mounted drive. I have restarted the nfs server daemon on hpux and dismounted/all from the vms side in working to determine the issues keeping me from accessing the mounted device. Currently I can no longer mount the device using the previously working command

mount dnfs0: /host="fqdn"/path="nfspath" nfstest nfstest

The error message says

%TCPIP$DNFSMOUNT-E-MOUNTFAIL, error mounting _DNFS630:[000000]
-SYSTEM-F-NOSUCHOBJ, network object is unknown at remote node

I have verified from the unix side that the export is available and I have even restarted the daemon to be sure. I am running OpenVMS 7.3-2 with tcpip 5.4 ECO 4. Any ideas?

Hi Mike
First and out of theme, Happy New Year.

For you question, are you correct defined nfspath or have you intend to mount device using absolute name of export device?

In my case with TCPIP 5.4 eco 2 if I define a symbol to mount path

$nfspath=="/lvol1"

And I intend mount a exported drive from HP-UX using

$tcpip mount dnfs0: /host="host" /path="''nfstpath'" vol1 vol1

The system reponse is:

%TCPIP$DNFSMOUNT-E-MOUNTFAIL, error mounting _DNFS118:[000000]
-SYSTEM-F-NOPRIV, insufficient privilege or object protection violation

But the mount action is correct if I use:

$tcpip mount dnfs0: /host="host" /path="/lvol1" vol1 vol1


Saludos.
Daniel.

SYSTEM-F-NOSUCHOBJ, network object is unknown at remote node

means that the NFS service is not enabled on that node (no listener active).

Or the firewall settings are blocking the connection.

Thanks all for the replies. In order,

Daniel, I am using the corrent nfs path name in the mount not anything defined on VMS.

Wim, I specifically enabled and started nfs client on VMS. On the Unix side I have verified that the nfs server is started and i can see the filesystem is exported.

Jansen, this is all within my company's internal network. The two systems are even on the same subnet.

Fyi, it mounted sucessfully when I first tried this but I could not access anything. Now it want mount at all.
