how to mount a nfs mount from linux client to AIX nfs server
Hi Everyone,
I've export a directory from the AIX NFS server. It don't have any problem being NFS mounted by other AIX system. While I tried to use one linux doing the same NFS mount, it returned the " permittion denied" error.
Is there anything special I should do on this linux client before I do the "NFS mount" ?
by the way, look at your network installation.
"Permission denied" usually means "I don't know this guy".
1) go to the AIX system, and type "ping -c 3 my_linux_client".
2) On the AIX server system, "cat /etc/exports" in order to verify that your fileystem is correctly exported.
3) usually, on Linux systems, "mount aix_server:/shared_filesystem /mnt" works without problem.
Is the nfso command mentioned above not only applicable to an AIX NFS client?
I have the same problems, by the way.
The exports on the AIX server are listed without any options, only -root=myclient
where myclient is an antry in the hosts file with the proper IP address.
I use RedHat ES3, trying to connect to an NFS server on an AIX 4.3 cluster.
I have the same problem here and I found out why I get this error:
on my server my uid is 500 and on my client 501 so they dont match which cause the access denied.
and on AIX, that export looks like:
/u33/cold_backups -root=hqs6000aortal2,access=hqs6000aortal2
portal2 being the Redhat box. Key is making SURE hostname is in /etc/hosts on the AIX box and that your UID/GID matches up between the two boxes. I hope this makes sense.
how to mount a nfs mount from linux client to AIX nfs server
Hi Support Team,
on AIX we use NFS Share. But which mount from linux client to AIX Server but see error:
"nfs.mount: remote I/O error".
we try use "mount -o -vers=3" and mount success. But I need use mount vers=4. because linux client use default version 4 get file.
how to resolve it ?
Many thanks support.
From memory linux has a "default" nfs4domain - that comes from the FQDN. host.dom1.dom2 - so the NFS4 domain is: "dom1.dom2".
On AIX (server) you will need to run the commands:
# chnfsdom "dom1.dom2"
# nfs.clean # to stop all NFS activity, do not use stopsrc -g nfs
# rc.nfs # even more important, do not use startsrc -g nfs !!!
Hi Michael,
we go the follow as you posted. But we do not setup nfs domain on NFS Client (Redhat). How to setup NFS domain on Redhat.
also we sent for you command output on nfs client:
# chnfsdom nfsdomain
bash: chnfsdom: command not found
Could you please resolve it help me.
Many thanks support.
