mount nfs v2/3 in Solaris cannot write with a user different than root
Hi all, I'm a big problem. I make a share nfs on VNX5300, export and mount on a Solaris Sparc host.When I try to write sometings in this filesystem (with a user different than root) I'm not be able to do this.Eg: touch somethings ---> touch: somethings cannot create !!! Someone have an idea?

workaround: after I mount the share on Solaris, I created a directory a on this directory I change the permission, but there is no possiblity to change the permission at top level (at mount point level).

Wrong export options or directory permissions

Permission you need to set from the client – if you have correctly root exported to that client – use that one and chmod

ok. But where can I do the correct permission? I try via Unisphere gui or via cli but I'm don't find anything. I'm new on vnx so I have more and more to understand ...

I tried but no way. Don't work! Do you have some reference about note or document explaining?

I have been battling this issue off and on for a couple of weeks now. To me it seems when the mount is being created RW permissions for world are not being set even though you specify it. This is seen when you create the file system and shared folder, you then mount the NFS share on a server and perform an "ls -ld" on the mount point. The permissions are only RWX for root.
To work around this issue I did the following.
1) When creating the "Shared Folder" give "Root Host" access to host you have root access to.
2) On the host that you have root access mount the NFS share.
3) Once mounted a "ls -ld" will show only root has RW access.
4) Peform a "chmod 777" on the NFS mount point while the share is mounted.
5) A "ls -ld" will now show that world has RWX.
6) Any other host that now mounts the NFS share should have write access.
FYI in my case I left "Read/Write Hosts" in "NFS Exports Properties" blank so all hosts had RW access. I have tested this on both Soalris and Linux.
I would be interested if this fixes anybody elses issues.
