Hi All
How do I do a auto mount to a directory in a different unix server. I am using Solaris.

Please advise!!

TIA

man automountd

So So clear !

Try the NFS Admin Guide from docs.sun.com. If you have specific questions after that, please post them.

Hi All,
I tried to understand but no luck. Could someone please help me out in doing this. May be if someone could give me a simple syntax of how to do it, that would be of great help!!

Thanks and Regards
Jana

easy way:
use the /net directory to access the remote nfs-shares.... (already configured automountd)

otherwise you could mount it with your /etc/vfstab at boot time, but be carefull with the mount options.... false set false boot.... only mount when the remote drive is responding otherwise solaris should try it later, sorry i not sure about the right syntax but i've got another tip:
man mount (!)
:-)

wouldn't do that. Takes away the sense of automounter, doesn't it?

You use automounter when you want the OS to take care of managing the mounts, and an vfstab entry leaves the managing to you again.

Doesn't it?
