This sounded familiar to a problem I had to do with SMB and NFS. I've looked, and it's a different problem, but at the time I had this response.
"That would be the case when Active Directory is configured for authentication. In that case the SMB service includes two aspects: One is the actual SMB file server, and the second one is the service for the Active Directory integration. Since NFS depends on authentication and id mapping services, it requires SMB to be running." I suspect the last paragraph is relevant in your case.

I'm working on setting up CES in our environment after finally getting a blocking bugfix applied. I'm making it further now, but I'm getting an error when I try to create my export: --- [root@sgate2 ~]# mmnfs export add /gpfs/summit/scratch --client 'login*.rc.int.colorado.edu(rw,root_squash);dtn*.rc.int.colorado.edu(rw,root_squash)' mmcesfuncs.sh: Current authentication: none is invalid.

Examine previous error messages to determine cause. --- When I try to configure mmuserauth, I get an error about not having SMB active; but I don't want to configure SMB, only NFS. --- [root@sgate2 ~]# /usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmuserauth service create --data-access-method file --type userdefined : SMB service not enabled.

I am currently working on a spectrum scale cluster, and i dont have the SMB package, I am waiting for it.. is there a way to export NFSv3 using the spectrum scale tools without SMB package ?

Examine previous error messages to determine cause. I exported the NFS via /etc/exports and than ./exportfs -a .. It works fine, I was able to mount the gpfs export from another machine.. this was my work-around since the spectrum scale tools failed to export NFSv3 On Mon, Jul 24, 2017 at 7:35 PM, <valdis.kletni...@vt.edu> wrote: > On Mon, 24 Jul 2017 13:36:41 +0300, Ilan Schwarts said: >> Hi, >> I have gpfs with 2 Nodes (redhat). >> I am trying to create NFS share - So I would be able to mount and >> access it from another linux machine. > >> While trying to create NFS (I execute the following): >> [root@LH20-GPFS1 ~]# mmnfs export add /fs_gpfs01 -c "* >> Access_Type=RW,Protocols=3:4,Squash=no_root_squash)" > > You can get away with little to no authentication for NFSv3, but > not for NFSv4.
