Subject: nfs mounts
Hi!
Iam trying to nfs mount a filesystem from a Sun server (A) onto
several AIX systems. The filesystem from the Sun server is exported to the
world. On all the AIX servers automounter is running. Mount is successful
only on those aix servers from which the ping is successful to the Sun
server (A). On all the other aix server where Iam not able to ping to the
Sun server (A) the mount is unsuccessful. However Iam able to do ssh from
the Sun server to these AIX servers and when I do showount -e "A", It shows
me that the Sun server is exporting to the world. These AIX servers are
behind the firewall and ping is disabled. My question is should ping be
enabled on the firewall for the mounts to be successful..?
Thanks,
Rohan
