Mount NFS
Hi

I have 2 servers, one is running on SunOS SPARC and the other is running on GNU Linux. Since my Linux is very poor I am not sure on how to mount a NFS from SunOS to Gnu Linux. Please help!

Code:
FS at Host Server:

root@rocux4 # ls -ld /data/PCFILES/GTPROD/DWHFILES.NEW
drwxrwxrwx   4 nobody   gentrack     512 Apr 18 03:17 /data/PCFILES/GTPROD/DWHFILES.NEW
root@rocux4 #

I need to mount it as /data/DWHFILES.NEW on to the GNU server with rwx permissions for a specific user: dwprod

Thanks in advance!!

add the entry in /etc/fstab file
Code:
servername:/data/PCFILES/GTPROD/DWHFILES.NEW      /data/DWHFILES.NEW              nfs  exec,dev,suid,rw  1 1

Add an entry in /etc/hosts
Code:
servername    101.135.1.240

as root remount
Code:
mount -a

hi Amit

This is wat i did on the Sun server (rocux4):

Edited the /etc/dfs/dfstab:

Code:
share -F nfs -o rw=wlglnxdw2.meridianenergy.co.nz /data/PCFILES/GTPROD/DWHFILES.NEW

And also i've created a DWHFILES.NEW folder at /data on the Linux box (wlglnxdw2) and changed the ownership to dwprod

Code:
[root@wlglnxdw2 data]# ls -ld DHWFILES.NEW
drwxr-xr-x 2 dwprod dwprod 4096 Apr 19 18:29 DHWFILES.NEW
[root@wlglnxdw2 data]#

So far Im right yeah?

Sp now at rocux4, I will need to do "shareall" and "service nfs start"

and then mount the FS existing on rocux4 to empty /data/DWHFILES.NEW to wlglnxdw2? But im not sure if this command is correct

Code:
mount -F nfs rocux4:/data/PCFILES/GTPROD/DWHFILES.NEW /data/DWHFILES.NEW

Can u check and confirm? Thanks

Hi

On Client NFS:

I edited the /etc/hosts entry to allow the host NFS server:

Code:
192.168.141.82  rocux4.xxxx.co.nz rocux4

my team mate added a hosts.allow :

Code:
192.168.141.82 rocux4.xxxx.co.nz

Added this line to /etc/fstab:

Code:
rocux4:/data/PCFILES/GTPROD/DWHFILES.NEW /data/DWHFILES.NEW nfs rw,hard,intr 0 0

Created DWHFILES.NEW at /data on client server wlglnxdw2:

Code:
[root@wlglnxdw2 data]# ls -lrt
total 60
drwx------ 2 root   root   16384 Dec  8 13:17 lost+found
drwxrwxr-x 2 dwprod dwprod  4096 Jan 18 14:11 source
drwxrwxr-x 5 dwprod dwprod  4096 Feb 11 14:43 npx
drwxr-xr-x 7 dwprod dwprod 28672 Apr  1 15:47 ems
drwxr-xr-x 7 dwprod dwprod  4096 Apr  8 10:15 comit
drwxr-xr-x 2 root   root    4096 Apr 19 20:14 DHWFILES.NEW

And somehow this command still fails:

Code:
[root@wlglnxdw2 etc]# mount -t nfs rocux4:/data/PCFILES/GTPROD/DWHFILES.NEW /data/DWHFILES.NEW
mount.nfs: mount point /data/DWHFILES.NEW does not exist

At host rocux4 (SunOS rocux4 5.9 Generic_122300-38 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440
#):

added this line in /etc/dfs/sharetab:

Code:
/data/PCFILES/GTPROD/DWHFILES.NEW       -       nfs     rw=wlglnxdw2.xxxx.co.nz,root=wlglnxdw2.xxxx.co.nz

and this line at /etc/dfs/dfstab:

Code:
share -F nfs -o rw=wlglnxdw2.xxxx.co.nz,root=wlglnxdw2.xxxx.co.nz /data/PCFILES/GTPROD/DWHFI
LES.NEW

I cant restart the NFS on host server since theres other servers running as client from it...but i have restarted the NFS on wlglnxdw2 (client) and tried remonting it again but same error?

Any idea on how do i fix this?

It fails because the designated mount point folder does not exist. Double-check your folder names:

Code:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root   root    4096 Apr 19 20:14 DHWFILES.NEW

Code:
mount -t nfs rocux4:/data/PCFILES/GTPROD/DWHFILES.NEW /data/DWHFILES.NEW

A typo?
