Rich, I agree with you questioning the empty zfs file. I believe I was just grasping at straws to try something else. It does not make sense. New to Linux and nfs so I got a double whammie working. So now here is what I got;
Updated /etc/hosts with, 27.1.39.74 mvstech.li.pch.com Updated /etc/exports with, /matt mvstech.li.pch.com(ro) Start nfs services with command, service nfs start Run batch job on mvs with below commands MOUNT FILESYSTEM(LN.NFSTEST) TYPE(NFS) + MOUNTPOINT('/u/st1mat/test/') + PARM('mvstech.li.pch.com:/matt,XLAT(Y)') Then get the following on the console BPXF028I FILE SYSTEM LN.NFSTEST WAS 351 NOT MOUNTED. RETURN CODE = 0000046A, REASON CODE = 6E2A1003 046a= No route to host 6e2a= unable to find this, might mean ' Verify that the operation was performed on a physical file system that supports the operation' Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks Matt -----Original Message----- From: Richard Troth [mailto:vmcow...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2011 3:55 PM To: Dazzo, Matt Cc: Linux on 390 Port Subject: Re: RH NFS Server I don't know z/OS well enough to say if "FILESYSTEM(SYS1.OMVS.NFSTEST)" is required. Does not make sense that you would need a local empty ZFS filesystem. The "filesystem" of interest is a sub-directory of a remote filesystem. (Or could be the entire remote filesystem.) So at first blush, I would think you have introduced a conflict. What is z/OS supposed to do with the local FS when you're trying to mount a remote FS? > 8B= operation not permitted > 6E05=ownership issue These errors *look* like the server rejecting you. But I am confused by your use of the local ZFS. The "MOUNTPOINT('/u/st1mat/test/')" makes perfect sense. The norm is that it be an empty directory. Most Unix systems require only that it exist. (If it has any content, the content is obscured by the NFS filesystem you mount over it.) You said it exists in USS. Good. Ownership of that (empty) directory may come into play. You might need to ask people on the MVS-OE discussion. (But some of them are probably on this list too.) So then ... "27.1.39.104" is the Linux system, yes? And "/matt" exists and has been listed in your /etc/exports file there, correct? What happens next is that 27.1.39.104 sees connections coming from z/OS. What is that IP address? The Linux NFS server will need to resolve that address to a hostname. That hostname must match what is allowed via /etc/exports. Personally, I find that I often must list these "clients" in /etc/hosts. (on the Linux NFS server side) There are changes to the Linux NFS server which I haven't kept up with, so there are probably a dozen ways to skin this cat. Say, for example, that MVS is at 27.1.39.101. Call it "mymvs". /etc/hosts would include ... 27.1.39.101 mymvs and /etc/exports would include ... /matt mymvs(ro) YOU MAY be able to export by address, but most of us will tell you "use hostnames". /matt 27.1.39.101(ro) -- R; <>< Rick Troth Velocity Software http://www.velocitysoftware.com/ On Tue, Sep 20, 2011 at 15:03, Dazzo, Matt <mda...@pch.com> wrote: > Richard, are you saying I have update the /etc/hosts so that the NFS server > will allow the mount?
