Exporting/Sharing Directories in Solaris.
Hi,

How do I export/share folders available in one Solaris machine to another Solaris machine?

I executed the following commands to share the folder available in one machine: (mercury)

# share -F nfs -o ro -d "Test" /usr/dt
# share
- /usr/dt ro "Test"
#

In the other machine (venus) I tried mounting this:

# mkdir /tmp/mercury
# mount -F nfs mercury:/usr/dt /tmp/mercury
nfs mount: mercury: : RPC: Program not registered
nfs mount: retrying: /tmp/mercury

Nothing happens after this. What might be the problem?

Regd,
M.

Got solved...

Had to start the NFS server with the command:
# /etc/init.d/nfs.server start

Before which an entry had to be made in /etc/dfs/dfstab file which was empty till then (the server refused to start saying that no entries were found in this file).

Got mounted after that...
