How to make NFS4 mount permanent ?

Hello,

I'm able to mount NFSv3 shares permanently (/etc/filesystems) via smitty nfs.

Code:

[root@nfs3client]/>lsfs -a
Name            Nodename   Mount Pt               VFS   Size    Options    Auto Accounting
/dev/hd4        --         /                      jfs2  2097152 --         yes  no
/dev/hd1        --         /home                  jfs2  1638400 --         yes  no
/dev/hd2        --         /usr                   jfs2  30932992 --         yes  no
/dev/hd9var     --         /var                   jfs2  2883584 --         yes  no
/dev/hd3        --         /tmp                   jfs2  4194304 --         yes  no
/dev/hd11admin  --         /admin                 jfs2  262144  --         yes  no
/proc           --         /proc                  procfs --      --         yes  no
/dev/hd10opt    --         /opt                   jfs2  2097152 --         yes  no
/dev/livedump   --         /var/adm/ras/livedump  jfs2  524288  --         yes  no
 nfsserver:/nfs3shre/test /mntpoint                nfs   --      rw,bg,hard,intr,sec=sys yes  no

I've tried to follow the same procedure (smitty nfs) for NFSv4 as well. But it gave me below error.

Code:

Command: failed        stdout: yes           stderr: no

Before command completion, additional instructions may appear below.

mount: 1831-011 access denied for nfsserver:/nfs4shre/test
mount: 1831-008 giving up on:
nfsserver:/nfs4shre/test
The file access permissions do not allow the specified action.

But when I use below command, then it worked.

mount -o vers=4,hard,rw,bg,intr,sec=sys nfsserver:/nfs4shre/test /mntpoint

The issue is " NFSv4 share is not mounting automatically after a server reboot".

As per my understanding,
we are not supposed to modify/edit " /etc/filesystems" in AIX.

As per IBM man pages

Quote:

Modifying this file can cause several effects to file systems

Please let me know how can I make NFSv4 mount permanently available across reboots.

Thank you.

mount.nfs

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

       /etc/fstab	 file system table

       /etc/mtab	 table of mounted file systems
