If you are asking how to manually mount NFS servers from /etc/fstab, the easiest way would be to run:

Which will mount all NFS servers listed in your fstab file (which is how they are mounted at boot).

Thanks for help;

I'm asking If client ran before server how make client attempts to connect to the server automatically.

You can't, not normally anyway. Your boot scripts only connect to the remote shares at initial startup, it doesn't go back and poll the server to see if it comes back up later.

To do that you would either need to make a cron job that attempts to remount the shares every few minutes (which is usually what I do, at least when I know the server will be up almost all the time), or use autofs to mount the share when the user attempts to access it (though this will do nothing to actually verify the server is up).
