Setting up an NFS Server on Solaris

The first step is to edit the /etc/dfs/dfstab file. We just added this entry:

share -F nfs -o rw=srv-1 -d "share" /share

Start the server:

# /etc/init.d/nfs.server start

On the client side:

root@srv-1 u-1 # mount -t nfs srv-50:/share /share2
root@srv-1 u-1 # ls /share2
lost+found  tmp
root@srv-1 u-1 # cp xfig.3.2.5-alpha3.full.tar.gz /share2/
root@srv-1 u-1 # ls /share2
lost+found  tmp  xfig.3.2.5-alpha3.full.tar.gz
root@srv-1 u-1 #

If you wish, add the following line to fstab on the client:

srv-50:/share    /share2  nfs     defaults        0 0
