How to mount a directory on another server?

Hi,

I have two solaris 10 servers, and I want a directory (test) in server A be accessible in server B.

I searched the web and the concept should be as follows:

Server A:
# share -F nfs /home/nms/test

Server B:
# mount -F nfs serverA:/home/nms/test /home/nms/test


But when I try to execute share -F nfs /home/nms/test in serverA, I got the following error:
share_nfs: /home/nms/test: Operation not applicable.

Can you help me how to do this please?

Thanks,
racbern
