server side:

 

1. Starting nfs service #mknfs –N

 

2. Starting nfs daemons #startsrc -g nfs /startsrc -s nfsd

 

3. Editing /etc/exports file for mentioning the file to share for client.or exportfs -i /test (for temp.)

  Ex: 1. #vi /etc/exports

         2. /test (fs/file to share with client)

         3.: wq!

 

4. Exporting fs #exportfs or #/usr/sbin/exportfs –a

 

5. Check fs has been exported #showmount -e servername

 

Client Side:

 

1. Creating mt. point #mkdir /test

 

2. Mounting the remote fs.  #mount 10.11.80.14:/test /test

 

  10.11.80.14 — remote server ipaddress.

  /test — fs shared by server

 /test — mt pt.for the client to access the nfs shared fs.

 Or go to smitty #smitty mknfsmnt

 

3. Check for mounted fs #df -g

 

4. Go into the dir. #cd /test

 

5. List the file. #ls

 

    Now we can access and modify the file from the server Based on the file permission and nfs share permission (Where we make entry in. — step 3 on server side) 

 

6. (Optional) edit the /etc/filesystems file and

  put entry for mounting the fs while booting.
