Mounting an NFS Directory

This procedure shows how scripts can be used in Sun Update Connection – Enterprise jobs to make every-day administration tasks fast and easy. This scenario uses NFS to mount a Linux directory on a client Linux machine. It assumes an NFS server already exists.

To Mount an NFS Directory

1. Create a short script called mntnfs.sh that appends the appropriate line the /etc/fstab.

   #! /bin/bash nfs=nfs_server_hostname mntPnt=mounted_directory fstab_line=”$nfs: $mntPnt $mntPnt nfs nfsvers=2,rw 0 0” echo $fstab_line >> /etc/fstab /etc/init.d/netfs start mount -a

2. Upload the script as a Local -> Pre-Action -> mntnfs.

   See Uploading Actions.

3. Create a profile that requires nfs-utils and mntnfs.

   See To Create a Profile.

4. Make the profile applicable to all active distributions.

   See To Align Component Settings for Multiple Distributions.

5. Run a job on selected hosts that deploys the profile.
