Is the NFS volume exported to specific servers or to the world? It sounds like there is a hostname mismatch. Either... 1) the NFS export does not grant permission to the AIX51 server, or 1) the Solaris server has a hosts file entry for the AIX51 server that doesn't match the name in the export list. Either the AIX51 server will be in there with some sort of shortened or aliased name or perhaps the IP address once belonged to an older server that had an entry but has now been recycled into the new AIX51 server, or 2) the name in the export list doesn't match exactly what gets returned from DNS, or 3) the DNS entries are messed up such that the forward and reverse lookup of the name and IP address of the AIX51 server do not return the same results.      |

There was a bug in the IBM nfs package on my cdroms: it was not working with UDP protocol under NFS (it was between AIX and HP-UX). Check that you have the last maintenance level. Patrick |

In addition to the tips about checking hostname resolution, search the archives of this newsgroup for "nfs_use_reserved_ports". By default, AIX uses unprivileged ports to make it easier for local hackers to read/write everyone else's files :-(. -- Dale Talcott, Rosen Center for Advanced Computing, Purdue University aeh@quest.cc.purdue.edu http://quest.cc.purdue.edu/~aeh/ |
