Not able to mount NAS volume on AIX Server
 

Dear All,



We are facing below issue while mounting NAS volume on AIX server.

AIX version 7.1

root@server1:/#mount 10.100.101.56:/mydata /mnt
mount: 1831-011 access denied for 10.100.101.56:/mydata
mount: 1831-008 giving up on:
10.100.101.56:/mwdata
The file access permissions do not allow the specified action.
root@server1:/#

What could be the possible issue

Kindly guide.

Thanks

If this is an NFS mount, then NFS is picky about DNS and reverse DNS working for host and client on AIX. Please see: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ai...nfs-filesystem

I've also had problems on AIX if the clocks were not synced.

Sounds familiar:

...since you asked about a NAS and mounting it in AIX three years ago. And since AIX is a commercial, pay-for distro that only comes from IBM, have you contacted IBM support? Read their knowledgebase articles about doing such things? You also don't say what kind of filesystem this is...NFS? Samba? Anything??

Thanks for the reply.

That old issue is solved, its new issue now.

Its NFS.

Thanks

Great...so in three years, you've not progressed any about how to perform mounts? You still tell us nothing about how this NAS is attached, what kind of device, what (if any) network security is on the device, what diagnostics/troubleshooting you've done, etc. All you have posted is a mount command.

And again, have you contacted IBM support, since you're paying for it? Have you looked in the IBM knowledgebase?? Done ANY research at all?

Ignoring the questions asked and not providing information isn't good. The error seems fairly clear; have you actually checked the permissions on the NFS server directory, and on the mount-point?

It says about file permission. Make the directory 777 on server side for test purpose only.
Probably you are about NFSv4, which is confused about domain settings different on server and client sides.
That is caused you are trying to mount with "nobody" or "nfsnobody" user.
