I am trying to install some SW which needs an NFS shared file from the
server to the client.

The server NFS shares that file, and the client NFS mounts it.

NFS server is

/etc/redhat-release
::::::::::::::
Red Hat Linux release 7.3 (Valhalla)
running on a V60x.

The NFS client is
/scs/bin # more /etc/*rel*
SuSE Linux 9.0 (x86-64)
VERSION = 9.0

running on a V20z.

The client hangs on the mount:

DEBUG : run on 10.6.218.153: /usr/bin/env LNX_NFS_MNT_OPTS=tcp,bg,intr,soft SOL_NFS_MNT_OPTS= /usr/mgmt/sbin/pe /scs/bin/gemm_prepare.sh nfsmount add 10.6.218.140 /stuff/default/common

Starting RPC portmap daemon..done
Importing Net File System (NFS)mount: backgrounding "10.6.218.140:/stuffdefault/common"
..done
nfs server reported service unavailable: Address already in use


My question is: What options should I use to make this happen?

Or are these NFS versions simply incompatible?

Thanks.

Ovid.
