UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

Hi,

I am trying to share a directory from a Solaris 10 m/c to another Solaris 10 m/c.But I am getting an error .Please let me know if I have missed anything

On Server 1

Code:

svcsadm -v enable -r network/nfs/server
share -F nfs -o rw /mount_point
In /etc/dfs/dfstab ------ share -F nfs -o rw /mount_point1

In Server 2
mount -F nfs sever1:/mount-point /mount-point

I get an error saying deveice /mount-point is busy

What directory are you in when you issue the mount command?

Hi,

I am in the home directory of the user when I try to mount it.

Well what is the mount point?
If it is a subdirectory of where you are when trying to mount, that could be the sort of expected message...

Just guessing...

1. Possible typo in /etc/dfs/dfstab: share -F nfs -o rw /mount_point1
2. Possibly wrong configuration order: NFS daemon/server was started before the modification in dfstab, thus try to restart NFS daemon/server
3. Run shareall and dfshares on server1, see if the desired share is listed as shared resource

4. On server2: Run dfshares server1, do you get any ouput?
5. On server2: Is the NFS client daemon started? (svcadm restart svc:/network/nfs/client)
6. On server2: Try to mount without -F nfs option
7. On server2: Maybe try another mount point, so the source and target have not same name

Not sure what caused the error but I created a new mount point and was able to share the nfs to that mount point
