How are filesystems from the former server which acted like a NAS exported ?
Is the same or similar configuration used during export from new NAS storage ?
Are some firewalls (ipfilter, ipnat) localy configured on solaris boxes (or any other clients to former solaris NAS box ) ?

Can you show output from following commands, issued from one of the solaris boxes.

Code:

showmount -e <your working acting NAS solaris box which you wish to migrate>
showmount -e <your NAS storage ip address>

When NAS storage is up, does it work on other operating systems like centos, or exhibits the similar behavior as on solaris boxes ?

What is the actual error when user tries to, for instance, ssh to a box ?

In most cases, for home directories automount is used on Solaris.

This is a nice article about automount :
Less known Solaris Features: /export/home? /home? autofs? - c0t0d0s0.org

install-solaris(1M)													       install-solaris(1M)

NAME

       install-solaris - install the Solaris operating system

SYNOPSIS

       install-solaris

       install-solaris	invokes  the  Solaris  Install	program. Depending on graphical capability and available memory at the time of invocation,
       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:

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       128 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       384 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       For x86 machines:

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory for all installation types

       256 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for windowing system

       512 MB

	   Minimum physical memory required for graphical-based installation

       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.

       install-solaris	exists	only  on  the Solaris installation media (CD or DVD) and should be invoked only from there. Refer to the  for more
       details.

       install-solaris allows installation of the operating system onto any standalone system. install-solaris loads the software available on the
       installation media. Refer to the  for disk space requirements.

       Refer to the  for more information on the various menus and selections.
