Hi,
I want to mount an smb share on my aix system.
I tried command and I get the error:
mount -v cifs -n remote_ip/remote_user/remote_ip //remote_server/remoteshare /mnt/localshare
There was an error connecting the share or the server.
Make sure the lsdev command shows that device nsmb0 is in
the Available state. Also make sure that the share name,
user name and password are accurate.

So I checked nsmb0 and it's available:
root@aix:/mnt # lsdev | grep -i nsm
nsmb0 Available N/A

Username and password are ok. I have mounted this system successfully under a linux machine. Please help.
Thanks.
 
In the previous post I made a syntax mistake in the command:
mount -v cifs -n remote_ip/remote_user/remote_PASSWORD //remote_server/remoteshare /mnt/localshare
 
If someone is interested I've found the solution:

mount -v cifs -n remote_ip/remote_user/remote_PASSWORD /remoteshare /mnt/localshare

or use:

smitty cifs_fs

regards.
