I have two Solaris 10 sparc systems, and one is running the NFS server that has a mount that I want to remotely share on the the other Solaris 10 sparc client machine.
Here's my setup: NFS Server (aphrodite is the hostname) settings root at aphrodite # svcs -d svc:/network/nfs/server STATE STIME FMRI online Mar_21 svc:/network/nfs/mapid:default online Mar_21 svc:/network/nfs/nlockmgr:default online Mar_21 svc:/network/rpc/gss:default online Mar_21 svc:/milestone/network:default online Mar_21 svc:/system/filesystem/local:default online Mar_21 svc:/network/rpc/bind:default maintenance Mar_21 svc:/network/rpc/keyserv:default root at aphrodite # svcs svc:/network/nfs/server STATE STIME FMRI online 12:29:30 svc:/network/nfs/server:default Listed above shows that the NFS server is running along with the dependent daemons. Settings in the /etc/dfs/dfstab share -F nfs -o rw=chronos.isos.isu.edu /banner/luminisshared I've restarted the NFS server and ran the exportfs command The showmount -e shows this below. /banner/luminisshared chronos.isos.isu.edu Client machine to do the NFS mount on (chronos is the hostname) /etc/vfstab aphrodite.isos.isu.edu:/banner/luminisshared - /banner/luminisshared nfs - yes rw The "/banner/luminisshared" directory is created on the remote client machine with the directory permissions 775. But it gives an error when the NFS mount tries to happen on a reboot or when you do a mount -F nfs aphrodite:/banner/luminisshared /banner/luminisshared /var/adm/messages Mar 24 11:52:46 chronos nfs: [ID 532867 kern.warning] WARNING: NFS server initial call to aphrodite failed: Permission denied Mar 24 11:57:30 chronos last message repeated 1 time Mar 24 11:58:41 chronos nfs: [ID 532867 kern.warning] WARNING: NFS server initial call to aphrodite.isos.isu.edu failed: Permission denied Mar 24 11:58:53 chronos last message repeated 1 time Mar 24 12:31:43 chronos nfs: [ID 532867 kern.warning] WARNING: NFS server initial call to aphrodite.isos.isu.edu failed: Permission denied What is the problem here. Again this NFS mount is between to Solaris 10 sparc systems. I This message posted from opensolaris.org
