Dell Server Update Utility 6.2.0 over NFS share

sys · 05-24-2010, 08:40 AM

Hi,
I've come across an issue I cannot resolve yet. Maybe one of you guys might be able to help me a bit with it.
I'm trying to set up a Dell Server Update Utility DVD on a NFS share. I'm doing it because we have a server room far from our location and I need some mechanism to update server firmware when needed. Only some of the servers have a DVD drive, most of them have just CD-ROM.
I'm trying to set it up on test desktops which have Ubuntu 9.10 32bit and 10.04 32bit installed.
The problem is when I try to run this from mounted NFS share:

Code:

# /bin/bash ./suu

i get:

Code:

./suu: line 262: ./java/linux/i386/bin/java: No such file or directory

The file exists, and is executable but I tried running it manually as well and it outputs:

Code:

-su: ./java: No such file or directory

When I try to run it manually from NFS server it runs OK though. Would it be some kind of NFS setting, either in /etc/exports or on the client I need to set?
Anyone seen this problem before?
Please advise.

Hi.

The 'noexec' flag might be set for the NFS mount - check the output of 'mount' on a client system.

Thanks for the reply, but as far as I can see it's not the problem.

Below is the line from mount command:

Code:

xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/mnt/SUU on /mnt/SUU type nfs (rw,addr=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

I've tried even mounting share with '-o exec' option, but didn't help.

I can list all the files on nfs share but cannot run any file in /mnt/SUU/java/linux/i386/bin/ directory.

Seems a bit weird.
