NFS mounting problem
2007-12-24 23:00:00
I want to mount a file system that exists on one server (server A) on a
mount point that exists on another server (server B).
Both servers are Solaris 7 servers. Server A acts as the server and server
B acts as the client.
On server A:
Added the following line to the /etc/dfs/dfstab file and shared a
particular directory
share -F nfs -o ro, rw=server B /dir 1/dir 2. After this I enabled nfs as
this is the first share entry.
On server B I tried the following :
1. added this to the /etc/vfstab file
server A:/dir1/dir2 - /local mount point nfs - yes
ro,rw=accesslist
However after rebooting the server didn't boot.
2. I edited the /etc/vfstab file and removed the entry. Then I executed the
following command:
mount -F nfs server A:/folder1/folder2 /local mount point
On execution, this is the message that was returned:
nfs mount :server A: RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Timed out
I don't know what to do from here. Any ideas are greatly appreciated. Will
summarize answers in email.
Regards
