NFS sharing in Solaris 10

To share a directory in Solaris 10 via NFS, follow the step below

Lets check whether the NFS server service is active

# svcs network/nfs/server
STATE STIME FMRI
disabled 3:28:52 svc:/network/nfs/server:default

It is disabled, lets enable it

# /usr/sbin/svcadm enable -r network/nfs/server

# /usr/sbin/svcadm enable -s network/nfs/server

# /usr/sbin/svcadm restart /network/nfs/server

Now we confirm again

# svcs /network/nfs/server
STATE STIME FMRI
online 3:30:19 svc:/network/nfs/server:default

Now use the following command to share the folder

# share -F nfs /apps/files

#shareall -F nfs

Here /apps/files represents the folder which I shared

If you want to share to the files to particular user or group, use the following command

# share -F nfs -o rw=oracle -d “Type your description here” /apps/files

Here oracle represent an example username

To verify whether the folders are shared, use the following command

#share

–               /apps/files   rw   “”

Now you have shared the files via NFS
