How to troubleshoot autofs /mnt/sum: does not exist in one of the sun server?

This was working previously. No issue on NFS mounting.

root@devapp # cat /etc/dfs/dfstab
share -F nfs -o rw /linxnet/server2

# Master map for automounter
#
+auto_master
/net -hosts -nosuid,nobrowse
/home auto_home -nobrowse
/xfn -xfn



root@linxnet# cat auto_direct
/export/home/linxnet/server2 -ro,intr <devapp ip addr>:/linxnet/server2

# cat auto_master
# Master map for automounter
#
+auto_master
/net -hosts -nosuid,nobrowse
/home auto_home -nobrowse
/xfn -xfn
/- /etc/auto_direct

IS /mnt/sum your dest or what?

As incredible is pointing out your automount is going to mount to:
/export/home/linxnet/server2
on the NFS client linxnet, not to /mnt/sum.

Thanks for the response.
There is a script file @devapp to copy file from linxnet server to devapp for backup. Previously there is no issue when cd to /mnt/sum and no changes made on this configuration. Please show me how to check on this. Thanks.

If /mnt/sum is not in any of the automount tables then perhaps it is actually a NFS mount in /etc/vfstab and not automounted at all?
or was /mnt/sum a symbolic link pointing to /export/home/linxnet/server2 ?

At devapp server, I'm able to mount -F nfs linxnet:/export/home/server /mnt and able to see the directory.

Question:
Which file show the automount tables? auto_master and auto_direct? in devapp or linxnet server should I refer? sorry, I'm confused now..

How can I configure if I want the /mnt/sum and /mnt/dist to be configured as autofs for accessing to linxnet server? The old conf might lost due to hard disk problem previously.

Please advise. Thank you.

Okay if you want to mount mount -F nfs linxnet:/export/home/server to /mnt/sum then you want a line in the auto_direct file like this:

Code:

/mnt/sum linxnet:/export/home/server

plus any options you may need to add.

The auto_master file lists all the other active automount tables.
So if you wanted a lot of different mounts under /mnt then you could make a new table call auto_mnt and add it into auto_direct:

Code:

/mnt auto_mnt

Then the mount I mentioned above would go into auto_mnt as:

Code:

sum linxnet:/export/home/server

All this applies to the machine you want to NFS mount to, only the /etc/fstab file needs configuring on the NFS server.
