NOTE A DiskAccess evaluation package is supplied with HP Vectra XW
Graphics workstations as of May 2, 1997. For other systems, a free
one-month evaluation package is available on the Web at
http://www.ssc-corp.com/nfs.
Installation Install DiskAccess from CD onto the NT workstation and
follow prompts. Reboot the workstation when directed to do so.
Exporting a File System from an HP-UX Server Do the following
on the HP-UX server.
Step 1. Configure the HP-UX system as an NFS server; see “Exporting a File
System (HP-UX to HP-UX)” on page 395.
Step 2. Make sure that the pcnfsd daemon is configured to start on boot in
/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf (PCNFS_SERVER should be set to 1).
If necessary, edit /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf changing the line
PCNFS_SERVER=0
to
PCNFS_SERVER=1
Step 3. Make sure that pcnfsd is running:
ps -ef | grep pcnfsd
If pcnfsd is not running, start it:
/usr/sbin/rpc.pcnfsd
See pcnfsd (1M) for more information
Step 4. Make sure that the directories to be exported are listed in
/etc/exports, and:
• either
The NT client’s host name is listed among the systems that have
access to each directory
• or
No systems are listed for the directories.
