HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Configuration Management

NOTE: Files in the local directory will be hidden, but not overwritten, when
you mount the remote directory. The local files will be accessible again once
you unmount the remote directory.
• Make sure that the client has permission to share the file system from the server.
This requires an entry in /etc/dfs/dfstab on the server; see Step 3 under “Share
a Directory Using HP-UX Commands” (page 77).
• Decide what type of mount you want. See Table 5-1: “Deciding Which Type of
NFS Mount to Use” (page 80).
— A standard NFS mount. Use one of these procedures:
◦ “Standard-Mount a Shared File System Using Text-Based HP SMH”
(page 80).
◦ “Standard-Mount a Shared File System Using HP-UX Commands” (page 82).
— An automounted NFS file system using AutoFS. Use this procedure:
◦ “Automount a Shared File System Using Text-Based HP SMH” (page 82).
