Mounting a NFS network file system across platforms - Solaris to AIX

Hi all,

Kind of an emergency situation, I have to NFS mount an AIX filesystem on to a Sun Solaris OS (5.10).

Typically from Sun to Sun is:

mount -F nfs <remote file system>/dir <mount point>

Which of course doesn't work if the remote file system is another OS (like AIX).

Is there some special step or flag that must be added? Thanks much for any advice!

Smilie

Okay I have this solution I found (quote from a forum)

Make the exports accessible for NFS version 3, then

# mount -F nfs -o vers=3 hostname:directory mountpoint



I cannot find a word anywhere in Google as to 'making exports accessible for NFS'. Does anyone know specifically what this person is talking about?
Thanks much!

MOUNT.NFS(8)                                                  System Manager's Manual                                                 MOUNT.NFS(8)

NAME
mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System SYNOPSIS
mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsh ] [-o options] DESCRIPTION
mount.nfs is a part of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality. mount.nfs is meant to be used by the mount(8) command for mounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone command with limited functionality. remotetarget is a server share usually in the form of servername:/path/to/share. dir is the directory on which the file system is to be mounted. Under Linux 2.6.32 and later kernel versions, mount.nfs can mount all NFS file system versions. Under earlier Linux kernel versions, mount.nfs4 must be used for mounting NFSv4 file systems while mount.nfs must be used for NFSv3 and v2. OPTIONS
-r Mount file system readonly. -v Be verbose. -V Print version. -w Mount file system read-write. -f Fake mount. Don't actually call the mount system call. -n Do not update /etc/mtab. By default, an entry is created in /etc/mtab for every mounted file system. Use this option to skip making an entry. -s Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than fail. -h Print help message. nfsoptions Refer to nfs(5) or mount(8) manual pages. NOTE
For further information please refer nfs(5) and mount(8) manual pages. FILES
