pfs_mount issue

[shawn21]

Hi,

I'm having a problem doing a pfs_mount. I used the FAQ described here to try and solve the issue.

If you want to use remote system to mount CD.

A. Perform these steps on the local system:
1. nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
2. nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
3. Add the filesystem to /etc/pfs_fstab
4. Add the filesystem to /etc/pfs_exports
5. pfs_exportfs -a
6. pfs_mount /cdrom

B. Perform these steps on the remote system:
1. nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
2. nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
3. pfs_mount -o xlat=unix remotesystemA:/cdrom /localmnt_pnt

but when I try to do the remote mount I get the following message.

"pfs_mount: giving up on /cdrom"

Any ideas

(Months after your post) I've run into this, too, but only in a mixed HP-UX 10.20 / HP-UX 11.0 setting. If I do the "local" pfs_mount on 10.20 I can remotely pfs_mount on a 10.20 machine but not on 11.0; I put the CD into an 11.0 machine & pfs_mount etc and then I could remotely pfs_mount on another 11.0 machine. My 10.20 and 11.0 machines both have the latest respective PFS cumulative patches.
