| NFS on my ANS |
Posted by: ChristTrekker on 2009-01-19 06:47:15
How do I mount an NFS share on my ANS? I seem to be missing a file called /sbin/helpers/nfsmnthelp, which some googling tells me is required under AIX. If it wasn't installed with the system, where can I get it?

mount hostname:share /mountpoint no?
alternatively, use smit.

That's what I do. And I get the error
/sbin/helpers/nfsmnthelp: A file or directory in the path name does not exist. |

I'm running 4.3.2++ on a 43P (4.3.2 plus 4.3.3 updates that managed to install)
$ cd /sbin
$ cd helpers
$ ls
aufsmnthelp cfsmnthelp dfsmnthelper nfsmnthelp v3fshelper
$ ls -l nfsmnthelp
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root system 27468 Jun 26 2008 nfsmnthelp
$ file nfsmnthelp
nfsmnthelp: executable (RISC System/6000) or object module
$ uname -a
AIX wibble 3 4 000A81BB4C00 Do you have the installation media for the AIX you are using?

Do you have the installation media for the AIX you are using? CD still sitting in the drive, and I've mounted it. But I don't know where I might find this, or how to manually install it if/when I do. AIX seems opaque to me, coming from a Linux/BSD/Solaris background.

With AIX I use smit to "install everything and accept all licenses".
