Solaris

Hi Team

I am facing an issue on solaris machine as mounting a remote path is only done after reboot the machine. without rebooting its going to hanging state and no process either.

i am using the following parameters for mounting NFS share..

mount -F nfs remote_path:/abc/ mount_point

can any one explain what is wrong with this server as we are stucked here.

Thanks and Regards

The first question is what is the remote box? Is that Solaris or something else? What make/model, what O/S?

When you say is works after a reboot, how? Do you have this nfs mount in a startup script? Or are you doing it manually (after a reboot)?

It might be something to do with the nfs versions of the Solaris 9 vs the remote box. Try specifying the nfs version (2,3 or 4) on the mount command (see nfs man pages). You could try each of them on a command line to see what happens if you don't know what version the remote box is running.

I think we all need a lot more information about your environment before we can help you much further.

Post the output of:

Code:

 
 showmount <remote box name>

or

Code:

 
 showmount <remote box ip address>
