Migrating From Automounter to AutoFS
If you were using the automounter before you updated to the HP-UX
Extension Pack Release, August 1998, you must perform the following
tasks to migrate your automounter configuration to AutoFS:
For more information, see the automount(1M) or automountd(1M) man
pages.
1. Move the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file to
/etc/rc.config.d.nfsconf.old.
2. Copy the /usr/newconfig/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file to
/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf.
3. In the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file set the AUTOFS variable
equal to 1.
4. Copy any options you had specified in the AUTO_OPTIONS variable to
either the AUTOMOUNT_OPTIONS or the AUTOMOUNTD_OPTIONS
variable. Remove obsolete options.
Table 2-5 lists the options to the old automount command and the
equivalent AutoFS command options. It also indicates which
automount options are obsolete with AutoFS.
