1.5.2 Accessing ApplianceWare-based Appliance Over Network
1.5.2.1 What NFS protocol versions are supported by ApplianceWare?
NFS protocol v.2 and v.3 are supported.
1.5.2.2 I would like to view what NFS shares are available on the Appliance. What
should I do?
Try the `
showmount -e NAS`
command, where “NAS” stands for Appliance name or its
IP address.
1.5.2.3 I am trying to mount a public share but mount fails with the “Permission
denied” message. What should I do?
There can be several reasons for this. The most frequently met problem is incorrect paths that
are used. Unlike Samba shares which can be accessed simply by share name, NFS shares are
accessible only via the full path to share, for example:
mount -t nfs NAS:/drives/Volume1/public /mnt/my_nfs_dir
NAS” stands here for Appliance name or its IP address. On Solaris systems, please use “-F
nfs” instead of “-t nfs” parameter.
Please also read question 1.5.2.2 if you are unsure about how full path to a NFS share should
look like.
