NFS mount Solaris directory on AIX server 5.2

[AIXdream]

Hello guys,

I need some help here, im trying to do a NFS mount a filesystem that is on Solaris 8 server onto a AIX 5.2 server

root@aixserver# mount -o proto=udp <Server>:/dir /mnt
root@aixserver# mount -f -o proto=udp <Server>:/dir /mnt


all these scripts are hanging.

I can ping/telnet/ssh from aix to solaris and solaris to aix no issues.

Tried smitty nfs, even that is hanging.

Any ideas?

Hi
Check if the solaris system can resolve your aixserver mane

/HGA

Yeah worth doing what ubihga said first!

If that still not the issue then how about running this from the aix box:

 showmount -e solaris_hostname

Can you see the exported fs?

If not then try to restart nfs group on both server and try again!

I tried everything, but still doesnt work.

showmount -e sol_hostname ---> hangs

Can you nfs mount this on another server?

If not then,

Have you tried to restart your named daemon?

what's the output of exportfs -a on the solaris server?

Have you tried it without using the -o option!

mount  -n nodeA /home/tom.remote /home/tom.local

Hold on! I think i know what's your problem is! showmount command uses the portmap service on the solaris and so does the nfs!

So it must be that your portmap service is the one that is causing the problem! Try restarting it!

ps: nice doc to read:
