The correct syntax would be without "/.etc". Have you tried

server_file

-put

Claude

you mean "server_file -put /netgroup" ?

You arent using a VDM as the server name in the server_file command – are you?

No, just the filename "netgroup" with no pathname so that it goes in the root FS of the Data Mover

Claude

No I am not.

Are you sure you got the netgroup syntax correct?

What does showmount -e say?

The command is "server_file -put netgroup" (do not give a pathname to the target file, it will automatically go in the .etc directory)

Claude

Showmount -e was blank earlier. I have tried to use Claude's suggestion of putting it just under netgroup now. Waiting for Unix team to confirm.

Claude, I have done what you suggested. As I mentioned I am waiting for Unix team to confirm, However can anyone suggest how to check for the exports in an HPUX server ??

showmount -e should do the job.

No need to wait for the Unix team – you can just as well use showmount from the control station – will show you the same as from a Unix client

It still doesnot show.

Going back to basics I would just say how I created the netgroups. I am doing it for the first time so please pardon me if I am wrong.

• Log into celerra cli and create the netgroup files: 

          itmgmt       

        (pres.emc.com,,) \

        (vp.emc.com,,) \

        (dir.emc.com,,) \

        (mid.emc.com,,) \

        (root.emc.com,,) \

        (eng1.emc.com,,) \

        (eng2.emc.com,,)

• Then used the command server_file -put netgroup
• Then gave read/write, root and access to the group itmgmt in the created nfsexport.

Please tell me if I am correct because I am unable to see the export from the host end.

I think the hosts need to be comma seperated, f.e

itmgmt (pres.emc.com,,), (vp.emc.com,,), (dir.emc.com,,), \

          (eng2.emc.com,,)
