Hi Akhil,

Mounting Directories in HP-UX:

There are two ways of mounting directories via NFS:

u2022 Manually

u2022 Using SAM

Procedure

Mounting Directories via NFS using SAM

On the host on which the main instance runs, proceed as follows:

1. Enter the command /usr/sbin/sam

2. Select Networking and Communications u2192 Networked File Systems u2192

Exported Local File Systems u2192 Actions u2192 Add

3. Enter the Local Directory Name /sapmnt/CUS

Select Specify UID for unknown user and enter at User ID the value 0.

Select Specify Root User Access and add the Remote System Names.

4. Type OK.

5. Exit SAM.

On the host on which the additional instance runs:

1. Enter the command /usr/sbin/sam

2. Select Networking and Communications u2192 Networked File Systems u2192

Mounted Remote File Systems u2192 Actions u2192 Add Remote File Systems u2192 Using NFS

3. Enter:

􀁻 The Local Directory Name

􀁻 The Remote Server Name of the host exporting the file system

􀁻 The Remote Directory Name

4. Enable the mount Now and On boot.

5. Specify Read-Write Access.

6. Type OK.

7. Exit SAM.

Mounting Directories via NFS manually:

On the host on which the main instance runs, proceed as follows:

...

1. Add the file system you want to export to the file /etc/exports using the option

-root= <nfs_cli_hostname_1>:...:< nfs_cli_hostname_n>,> \

access= <nfs_cli_hostname_1>:...:< nfs_cli_hostname_n>

Example:/sapmnt/C11/exe -root=hw5111:hw5115, access=hw5111:hw5115

When you encounter problems with your input similar to the example above, try something like

/sapmnt/C11/exe -anon=y, access=hw5111:hw5115

2. Make the file system available to NFS clients: /usr/sbin/exportfs -a

On the host on which the additional instance runs:

1. Add the remote file system to /etc/fstab.

hwi173:/sapmnt/CUS /sapmnt/CUS nfs defaults 0 0

2. Mount the file system

mount hwi173:/sapmnt/CUS

Hope it resolves your issue.

Thanks
