RE: NFS Mount -- MIDRANGE-L

Thanks guys.
Interesting comment from Roger re head banging the admin guys. I have an FTP workaround for the same reason.

You don't need to start the NFS server on the i - only on the remote system, whether Windows or Linux or whatever.

That redbook is pretty sketchy, as I recall, as to using the NFS client on IBM i. Of course, there's not much to that, since all you do is run the MOUNT command.

Security is different - I point Peter again to the RJS articles to help with anonymous mounts. There are some newer articles, as I recall, on support.rjssoftware.com - and older yet still valid articles on wiki.rjssoftware.com/wiki - not all of those had made it over to the newer support site as of my last days working there, so take a look both places.

You're mixing them up. Unix Services is on the Windows side. On the
i, look at STRNFSSVR.

There is a redbook on NFS. Pretty old but should point you in the
right direction.

One reason I never got it running was resistance from the Windows
admin guys. I ended up with a combination of FTP and a PC as the middleman to
accomplish what I needed. Would have been a lot cleaner to go NFS.

Richard,
Thanks for the tip but how do I enable Windows Services for Unix NFS
server support on the i5?

If you want i to mount a Windows drive share, enabled Windows Services
for Unix NFS server support.

Otherwise you could enabled the NFS server on i and mount the IFS
shares from Windows.

I would recommend the first option.

subject: NFS mount

I want to load a file in a database on SQL Server 2008 R2 using SQL
bulk insert from a csv file.
So that I can use the IFS on the i5 I would like to mount the SQL
server using the MOUNT command but need some advice as this is new to me.
The MOUNT cmd has the format MOUNT TYPE(*NFS) MFS(?????)
MNTOVRDIR(??????) and I need to know what to specify for MFS and
MNTOVRDIR

The host name of the SQL Server box is nzaklgl-db601.corp.bayadv which
can be pinged from the i5 and returns an IP address of 10.9.64.65 If I
log on to the SQL Server machine and look at the drives via Windows
Explorer I see the following

Computer
OS(C:)
Data(F:)
Logs(H:)
Work(I:)
Backup(K:)
...
...

I figure that I need a folder in one of these drives to be the target
of the MOUNT.
So what do I specify for MFS and MNTOVRDIR?

Peter
