Re: Unable to mount NFS after upgrade to V6R1 -- MIDRANGE-L

V6R1 has added new versions of NFS to its arsenal - maybe a mismatch there. As Rob says, call IBM. And maybe look in the software knowledge base at iSeries support and search for NFS for more information first. And maybe the Memo to Users. I've not looked, so that is just a general recommendation for any new release.

After an upgrade to V6R1, the following mount command fails:

MOUNT TYPE(*NFS)
MFS('192.168.x.x:sharename')
MNTOVRDIR('/ifspath')
CCSID(1252 *ASCII)

The command worked prior to V6R1, but now fails with CPFA1C6:

Cause . . . . . : The value supplied for the File system to mount
(MFS)
parameter does not have the form hostname:pathname. You must enter a
value
of this form when you choose *NFS for the Type of mount (TYPE)
parameter.

The IP is that of a Window 2003 server with the requisite extensions, and
the sharename has not changed. I can still attach to that IP and sharename
from another Windows box.

The user profile does have *IOSYSCFG, and the folder has write authority,
etc. Nothing changed on the Windows box; only the i5 went from V5R4 to
V6R1.

Any clues what could be wrong?
