I'm trying to mount a *NFS file share to a file share on one of our
Windows servers.  My first question is, and this probably isn't the
place to ask, how can I tell if the file share on the Windows server I'm
trying to use is a NFS file share?

When I run the following MOUNT command I am receiving the following
error: Cannot find address for specified system name.

MOUNT TYPE(*NFS) MFS('nwssql01:/AttachmentsReady')
MNTOVRDIR('/HOME/GRIZZLY/AttachmentsReady')

 

I have verified that the name of the remote server is correct. The Share
name is correct and the directory /HOME/GRIZZY/AttachmentsReady exists.
NFS is started as well. 

The part that is puzzling to me is the additional message information
states that an error was detected while trying to retrieve communication
information about host SXXXXXXX.DOMAINNAME.COM  (Where SXXXXXXX is the
serial number of our i5, System I, what have you and the DOMAINNAME is
our domain name) . It doesn't even appear to be trying to communicate
with the server I specified. 

 

For what it's worth, I tried MKDIR ('/QNTC/nwssql01/AttachmentsReady')
and I receive a message stating I'm not authorized to the object.  Can
anyone suggest where I can begin trouble shooting? 

 

I need to establish this share because I eventually need to use the IFS
Api's to read/write files to the share.

 

Thanks in advance,

Griz
