My original question was how do I mount a disk which exists on OpenVms
to my unix server. Thanks for all the quick and helpful replies:
Joe Fletcher, Amy Skowronek, Blakely Williford, Brian Lavelle, and Allan
Simeone
I have yet to implement but I wanted to send out a quick summary. Also,
most everyone indicated this might require some fiddling.
The consensus was that you have to do things from both boxes
VMS box
go into ucx and tell the vms box about the unix box then map the drive
to the unix box
$ ucx
UCX> set host unixhost /address=ip_address[/alias="unixhost"]
UCX> map "/path/name" logical_file_system (someone else suggested)
UCX> map "/data0" dkb100:
UCX> set configuration map "/data0" dkb100:
you then need to export the drive, use commands similar to following
UCX> add export "/data_disk[/subdirectory]" /host=unixhost
or
UCX> add export "/data0/sxt" /host=unixhost
now a proxy from the unix box needs to be added
UCX> add proxy nfs_user /uid=-2/gid=-2 /host=(unixhost)
this disk might be mounted on the unix host similar to the following
mount -t nfs vmshost:/exportname /dirmountpoint
Check to see if the third party app does anything special with the file
structures as the two systems do not see eye to eye on file structures.
Thanks all!!!
