OS RELEASE:   2.x

PRODUCT:      Solaris x86

KEYWORDS:     FAQ network NFS interoperation


DESCRIPTION:

Frequently asked Questions on Solaris 2.x, in the area of networks - NFS
interoperation


SOLUTION:

Q) With Solaris 2.x configured as a client, nfs mount with with HP-UX or
   AIX machines will not work, even though dfshares shows that the file
   systems are exported.  The error message "Server not responding"
   appears. 

A) The following workaround is suggested (to be done on Solaris 2.x
   machine):

1. Append the following two lines into /etc/system

    set nfs:nfs_portmon=0
    set nfs:nfs_fastpath=0

2. Cut the number of group that root belongs to 6 in the /etc/group if
   this is the case.  Usually it happens if root belongs to 11 groups or
   more.
