How to Mount an NFS File System Using an NFS URL

1. Become superuser or assume an equivalent role.

   Roles contain authorizations and privileged commands. For more information about roles, see Configuring RBAC (Task Map) in System Administration Guide: Security Services. To configure a role with the Primary Administrator profile, see Chapter 2, Working With the Solaris Management Console (Tasks), in System Administration Guide: Basic Administration.

2. (Optional) If you are using NFS version 2 or version 3, manually mount the file system by using a command such as the following:

   # mount -F nfs nfs://bee:3000/export/share/local /mnt

   In this example, the /export/share/local file system is being mounted from the server bee by using NFS port number 3000. The port number is not required and by default the standard NFS port number of 2049 is used. You can choose to include the public option with an NFS URL. Without the public option, the MOUNT protocol is used if the public file handle is not supported by the server. The public option forces the use of the public file handle, and the mount fails if the public file handle is not supported.

3. (Optional) If you are using NFS version 4, manually mount the file system by using a command such as the following:

   # mount -F nfs -o vers=4 nfs://bee:3000/export/share/local /mnt
