Mounting a Windows 2003 Server Directory on HPUX True 64 Server

[Mark Treen_1]

Hi Guys

Heres one I am sure you've heard a 1000 times before!!

Can I share a Windows 2003 server directory and have it mounted in UNIX. I know all about NFS on UNIX with UNIX... does windows have a similar client / process??

Cheers

Hi Mark,

of course it exists.
Search for Samba/CIFS:
www.samba.org

Anyway sure you can find all the best about installation and configuration on ITRC forum by search and into web.

HTH.

Best regards,

Hi,

In the past I have shared files between Windows and HP-UX environments. This was possible installing in each Win PC a NFS client (in my case was WRQ/Reflection) and activating on the HP-UX side NFS_SERVER and PCNFS_SERVER daemons (set to 1 into /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file)

Once done this, you just needs configurate an HP-UX's exported filesystem for file-sharing proposal and follown a very simple steeps described into the client configuration.

I've understand the inverse case for you, so I suppose that you must activate a NFS Server service from W2003 side. Also you will need set NFS_CLIENT=1 in your /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file too. May be just sharing the folder with privileges will enough to "export" it. I'm not sure about.

Rgds.

pleas use nfsconfig or sms station to configure nfs manual setup via config files is not supported.

Btw. use google and have a look into the basics, there are many sites in the internet dealing with that kind of issue!

Hi mark,

if i'm not wrong, Windows has a service called " UNIX ...", which should include NFS and LPD etc, install it and have a look. otherwise, you need NFS software running on Windows such as PC-NFS to talk to UNIX side. this is for simple file sharing.

for more Windows and UNIX source sharing interagtion, you might look at Samba.

BTW, you have commercial solution on Tru64.
