Sharing a local disk between to solaris machines
Hi,
I recently added a disk on a solaris 9 and I wanted to make it accessible for another machine, using the same name
here is what i did :
On the machine holding the internal disk
in vfstab i added the line
Code:
/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s4       /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s4      /SHARED2    ufs     2       yes     -

then I went to /etc/dfs/dfstab
Code:
share -F nfs -o rw /SHARED2

then I issued
Code:
/etc/init.d/nfs.server stop
/etc/init.d/nfs.server start

Then I went on the client machine
open the vfstab file and
added (assume Support_Main is the equivalent to host machine from hosts file
Code:
Support_Main:/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s4     Support_Main:/dev/dsk/c1t1d0s4     /SHARED2 nfs 2 yes        -

I succeed to issue the mount command but when I try to issue
cd /SHARED2 on the client machine I get
Code:
ksh: /SHARED2: not a directory

Can it be because on the host machine the disk is mounted ufs and I ask to share it on nfs ?
Can someone tell me what am i missing ?

Thanks

       install-solaris invokes either a text-based installer or a graphical installer.

       The following minimum requirements for physical memory dictate which features are available during installation:

       For SPARC machines:

       In some cases, even if the minimum physical memory is present, available virtual memory after system startup can limit the number  of  fea-
       tures available.
