[Solved] NFS mount problems on AIX
Hi,
I have two machines (AIX) each on a different VLAN.
Need to mount a filesystem using nfs on the other one.
When I export the nfs file system its a breeze. But when I try to mount it on the other machine the smitty command hangs on "running" and i get an OK from smitty but with this error.
HTML Code:
mount: 1831-010 server APPSERVER not responding: RPC: 1832-018 Port mapper failure - RPC: 1832-008 Timed out
mount: backgrounding
APPSERVER:/datadb
I have restarted nfs deamons. I have checked the /etc/hosts values. Opened the 2049 and 111 ports on the network but still cant do..
Help!

Name
nfs - Network File System
Description
The Network File System (NFS) is a specific file system implemented under the Generic File System Interface, as described in
NFS provides support for sharing ordinary files and directories in a multivendor networking environment. The system administrator for a
file server machine makes a file system available for remote access by placing the name of the file system to be shared in an export list.
The administrator for a client machine can import a file system from any server machine that has granted access permission to the request-
ing client machine. A complete exported file system or any subtree of an exported file system can be imported by the client machine. Once
imported, users on the client machine can access files in the remote file system as though they were local files.
