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

How would one know that this is a NFS location.
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
