LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] mount solaris NFS share in RHEL 4

Hi all,

I need a help in mounting a nfs share available in a solaris box(devprod15) , to a linux box(devprod) which is on RHEL 4. Whenever i try to mount, it shows some error that the solaris host is down.

Code:

[root@devprod ~]# mount -t nfs devprod15:newshare01  /new/myshare

mount to NFS server 'devprod15' failed: server is down.

when I try to view the available , NFS shares on the server

Code:

[root@devprod ~]#showmount -a devprod15

mount clntudp_create: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Authentication error

I think this helps to find the problem . From the client side , both portmap and nfs are enabled.

Code:

[root@devprod ~]# rpcinfo -p

Do solaris and linux use different ports for NFS communication ? I need help to clear this. What am missing ?

Thanks
