Mounting UFS on Solaris 10 to Solaris 11
I have a Solaris 10 LDOM installed with UFS and another Solaris 11 LDOM with ZFS. I want to mount a folder on Solaris 10 to Solaris 11. I used the following:
sudo mount -F ufs 10.1.1.44:/export/home/amandeep/workspace /home/amandeep/workspace/mounts/ldom5

and it errors out with:
mount: 10.1.1.44:/export/home/amandeep/workspace or /home/amandeep/workspace/mounts/ldom5, no such file or directory

What am I missing?

Because 10.1.1.44:/export/home/amandeep/workspace is a NFS location.
You must mount this with "-F nfs" (without this option "mount" will automatically see it is NFS).

Hello @MadeInGermay,
How would one know that this is a NFS location. I am very new to solaris and still learning. Following is the output of mount command on 10.1.1.44:

The server:/pathname is a remote filesystem, by default NFS.
A /dev/pathname is a local filesystem, by default UFS (in Solaris <= 10, not sure with Solaris 11).

Well Because of your request above : Solaris 10 to Solaris 11 means from a system to another, and that, can only be achieve across network thus NFS ( Network FileSystem) then in your same request and statement you give the IP of the system (NFS server) exporting: 10.1.1.44 .
So now did you try mount without options?
It should work ( but cannot be sure beeing at home without boxes to try... used with HP-UX and some AIX, not quite sure about Solaris)
the advantages of arguments are to give more mount options like some NFS options letting you able to dismount when server is not responding etc... I dont see any reason to give UFS only to create errors since its not...
That said and MadeInGermany gave you a syntax to try, if your mount directory on the client side is absent you will get error too...( not mentioning the same server side...) and since its network you should check you can reach the NFS server by using ping or anything else to see if it responds

Yes, I was able to mount it as NFS. But was curious about if we could use UFS. Thanks for the help.

On the NFS server the exported(=shared) file system is mounted locally, from /dev/pathname or from ZFS that is rpool/pathname (the ZFS developers decided to not implement its access via a /dev/pathname device driver; instead ZFS has its own kernel API and its own commands).
BTW besides NFS there is another remote file system RFS - but Solaris and all other Unixes prefer NFS. BSD Unix and Linux have NFS only.
