File sharing with Solaris Systems

You can use the following set of commands to set up file sharing between legacy SCO platforms and Solaris platforms:

1. On the legacy SCO platform, enter the following command:

   cp /etc/dfs/dfstab /etc/dfs/dfstab.bak

   echo "share -F nfs /export" >> /etc/dfs/dfstab

   sh /etc/init.d/nfs stop

   sh /etc/init.d/nfs start

2. Mount the SCO shared directory on the Solaris platform by running the following command on the Solaris platform:

   mount -F nfs SCO Machine Name: /export /mnt

   In the above example, the directory "/export" is shared out from the SCO system and mounted to the directory "/mnt" on the Solaris system.

3. After the desired files are copied over (using the cp command), run the following commands on the SCO platform to remove the sharing:

   unshare -F nfs /export

   mv /etc/dfs/dfstab.bak /etc/dfs/dfstab

   Note:
   On an Avaya IR R1 system, the above instructions can be reversed to share out a directory from the Solaris system and mount it on a SCO system. For Avaya IR R1.2 and R1.2.1, this is not possible. Directories can be shared out only from a SCO system and mounted on to the Solaris system.
