HP UX - Mounting NFS filesystem simple example



 Mounting the NFS filesystem: Simple Example : (Reference)

 Let me mount the '/usr/sarav' directory located in the remote SERVER machine to the local CLIENT machine in '/var/sarav_mounted' directory.

 In Server,
 1.) Add the filesystem to be mounted in /etc/exports file.
 SERVER# cat /etc/exports
 /usr/sarav
 SERVER#

 2.) Export the filesystem.
 SERVER# exportfs -a
 SERVER# exportfs
 /usr/sarav
 SERVER# cd /usr/sarav
 SERVER# ls -ltr
 total 32
 drwxrwxrwx   3 root       sys             96 Apr 25 21:13 Modules
 drwxrwxrwx   2 root       sys           8192 Apr 25 21:24 MyPrograms
 drwxrwxrwx   2 root       sys           8192 Jun  6 16:46 Scripts
 SERVER# showmount -e
 export list for SERVER:
 /usr/sarav (everyone)
 SERVER#

 In Client,
 1.) Create a directory which will be used to mount to the server side directory and mount it.
 CLIENT# mkdir /var/sarav_mounted
 CLIENT# mount -F nfs SERVER:/usr/sarav /var/sarav_mounted
 CLIENT# mount
 /var/sarav_mounted on SERVER:/usr/sarav rsize=32768,wsize=32768,NFSv3,dev=2 on Mon Jul  2 16:14:20 2012

 2.) Now access the remotely located filesystem by the mounted filesystem name as if you are accessing the local filesystem.
 CLIENT# cd /var/sarav_mounted
 CLIENT# ls -ltr
 total 32
 drwxrwxrwx   3 root       sys             96 Apr 25 21:13 Modules
 drwxrwxrwx   2 root       sys           8192 Apr 25 21:24 MyPrograms
 drwxrwxrwx   2 root       sys           8192 Jun  6 16:46 Scripts
 CLIENT#
