I have an issue with a Solaris server that I am working with. I am trying to set up a backup solution for someone that will involve a Solaris 9 server with NFS enabled allowing a Windows machine to map a drive to it (NFS Maestro).
NFS Maestro appears to work fine. However, the NFS share that I created does not work at all. To recap what I did, I went to /etc/dfs/dfstab and typed in:
Code:
share -F nfs -o rw /test
I figured that I would tighten down permissions later. I also restarted NFS by going to /etc/init.d and restarting the NFS.server by typing in:
Code:
./nfs.server stop
./nfs.server start
Not only can I not map a drive with NFS Maestro, but I also cannot use the NFS client on another Solaris machine to map to it. I'm sure that it is something that I missed.
Can someone point me in the right direction?

I found the problem. After modifying /etc/dfs/dfstab, I was supposed to restart NFS and all related services. Apparently, I did not do this, because I did a full reboot, and the shares worked the way that I wanted them, so all is well.
Maestro is a GUI interface, so there is no command line.
I don't think exportfs works in Solaris, but I could be wrong.
I have a Solaris 10 server, I'm trying to mount a share from a Windows nfs server. If I add this entry (tst-walnut:/test_sap_nfs - /majid nfs - yes rw,soft) to my /etc/vfstab, then I can mount, but when I create a file by root:root, the file owner changes to... (1 Reply)
I am trying to get a NFS share on a Solaris 10 branded zone. I have read that this is not possible...but I was hoping someone here could tell me different.
share -F nfs -o ro,anon=0 /dir
This would really surprise me that you cannot do this.

Hi,
my problem is that I am not able to grand the nfs directory on a Fedora 7 server to a standard solaris client.
I always got the messages no permission.
Important: No change on the client (Solaris) is possible! So I am not able to change the NFS Version on the client side to force the... (3 Replies)
Hello Guys,
I have just joined this forum & hope that I will find a solution to my question.
I have configured NFS shares on my machine solaris 10 (5.10). Shares have rw access for everyone.
Tried starting NFS server daemon with following command.
svcadm -v enable -t network/nfs/server... (3 Replies)
Whenever I start nfs/server using "svcadm -v enable" it appears to start up. But when I look for daemons such as nfsd I don't see any. So I checked the manifest logs for nfs/server and it's telling me the NFS service gets enabled and then immediately disabled with a stop 102.
All the... (2 Replies)
