Sharing directories with NFS in Solaris 10

Sharing directories with NFS in Solaris 10

You want to share a directory in Solaris, may be, the home of the users, or a directory with binaries.
With svcs the service status can be checked, so lets check the status of the nfs server:
-bash-3.00# svcs network/nfs/server
STATE STIME FMRI
offline 2:19:03 svc:/network/nfs/server:default

The service is offline, so you have to enable it and start it, lets do it:
-bash-3.00# svcadm enable -r network/nfs/server
-bash-3.00# svcadm enable -s network/nfs/server
-bash-3.00# svcadm restart network/nfs/server

Now it is started:
-bash-3.00# svcs network/nfs/server
STATE STIME FMRI
online 2:29:51 svc:/network/nfs/server:default

Now, to share a directory, edit /etc/dfs/dfstab and add:
share -F nfs /export/test

Save the file and execute:
# shareall -F nfs

Now check the shares:
-bash-3.00# share
– /export/test rw «»

Quiet simple 😉
