I have a Solaris 10 x86 server.  Inside its /etc/exportfs file, it
contains:

-     /export/home/data     rw     ""

When I go to a Solaris 10 x86 client system, I can mount that /export/
home/data onto this client without any problem.

But when I go to an HP UX system, and try to mount that /export/home/
data directory from the Solaris 10 server, I get the "access denied"
error message.  On the HP UX system, inside /etc/.rhosts and /etc/
hosts.equiv, there is a + inside them.

Also, I created similar user names and passwords on both the Solaris
10 and the HP UX systems.

Does anyone know what I need to do in order to mount a directory from
Solaris 10 onto an HP UX system?  Thanks in advance.

I have encountered a similar problem, except backwards. We have a NetApps 
NAS, and when I try to mount an export from there onto a Solaris 10 box (I 
did not have this problem with Solaris 9 or earlier) it fails with that 
error message.

In my case it has to do with the NFS version. The NAS uses NFS V3 and 
Solaris 10 by default seems to use NFS V4, and if there is an 
"autonegotiate" that takes place between the two machines it does not 
succeed. I fixed the issue by adding the "vers=3" (I believe that is the 
syntax) option to the automount command on the Solaris box. You may need to 
add a similar option to the export command on your Solaris machine. Or dink 
around on the HPUX machine. I know my HPUX machines have no issue mounting 
filesystems from the NAS.

Good luck.

Solaris 10 doesn't use any such file.
Did you mean /etc/dfs/dfstab in which case your syntax is wrong?

What does "showmount -e localhost" give on the Solaris box?

Yes, my dfstab file does contain the above.

no exported filesystem for localhost


This is strange!  When I go to a client Solaris 10 system, I can
mount /export/home/data from the Solaris server onto this Solaris
client though.  If there was no filesystem exported on the Solaris 10
server, how could I have done this?!

At a wild guess, the filesystem you're mounting comes from a server
different than the one you think it comes from.

I'm really puzzled.

I have a Solaris 9 server with a similar setup.  Yet, I can mount
directories from this Solaris 9 system onto this HP UX system.  But
when I try mounting from Solaris 10 systems, I get the "access denied"
error message on the HP UX system.

Is the /etc/hosts.equiv file on the Solaris 10 system the location
that gives permission for that
HP UX system to mount?

I just revised the /etc/hosts.equiv file on the Solaris 10 to the
following:


+
HPUX_system_name


I rebooted the Solaris 10 system.  Same problem!  Cannot mount that
directory on the Solaris 10 onto the HP UX system.  It says "access
denied".


remsh does work from Solaris 10 to HP UX, and from HP UX to Solaris
10, however.

No!

The "+" allows everyon to rsh into your box; I think you want it
removed (or disable rlogin/rsh if you haven't already)

/etc/dfs/dfstab contains the shared filesystems; check the access
control lists.

Run "dfshares" command  on the solaris box in order to ascertain what , if 
any filesystems are shared
George 

server9 = name of my Solaris 9 system
server10 = name of my Solaris 10 system
server_hpux = name of my HP UX system


inside /etc/dfs/dfstab on both server 9 and server10, I have:

share -F nfs -o rw /export/home/data


when I go to server9 to do "dfshares", I get:

RESOURCE     SERVER     ACCESS     TRANSPORT

server9:/export/home/data     server9     -     -

but when I go to server10 to do "dfshares", I get nothing.


So from the HP UX system, I can mount /export/home/data from server 9
onto the HP UX box,
but I cannot mount from the server 10 system.  I get the "access
denied" error on the HP UX system.

What file on the server10 system do I need to edit to allow permission
for the HP UX system to mount
/export/home/data from server10 onto the server_hpux system?

Is this likely where the problem is coming from?

dfshares on Solaris does not tell about access rights.
Better use this command:
share

/etc/dfs/dfstab

(Compare it with the one on the Solaris 9 system.)
After changing the file, run
shareall

Yes.

Michael Tosch @ hp : com

I checked.  both dfstab files on server9 and server10 are the same

I went on the server10, and did a "shareall"

on both server9 and server10, I did a "share" command, and the
outputted values were similar

however, the problem is still the same:

from the HP UX system, I can mount /export/home/data from server9 onto
the HP UX system, but not from server10

the error message from the HP UX system is "access denied"

I've been at this for a week now, with no success.  There's got to be
something I'm missing.

Any other suggestions how to fix this problem?  Thanks.

Might want to verify the server is running as well:

# svcs nfs/server

if not,

# svcadm enable nfs/server

I already ran the svcadm enable nfs/server command on the server10
system.

BTW, if I went on another Solaris 10 system (named client10), I can
mount the /export/home/data directory from server10 onto the
"client10" system.

It just doesn't work if I try mounting it from the HP UX system.

Have you enabled the nfs server?

(svcadm enable -r nfs/server)

where do get the name server9 from, is it in /etc/hosts?
if You get the name by dns, You mit enter the full qualified hostname
in /etc/dfs/dfstab   (server9.your.domain)

I wonder if HP is ending up using NFSv4 against Solaris 10
and NFSv3 against Solaris 9, and having problems with NFSv4?

You could disable NFSv4 by adding NFS_SERVER_VERSMAX=3 to
/etc/default/nfs (and restarting NFS server).

If that doesn't fix anything, take it out again.
