Technical data

MOUNT
Default UID if no UID mapping exists for file access.
Restriction: Requires OPER privilege.
Both the NFS server and NFS client use the proxy database for access control.
HP strongly recommends that you provide a proxy with a unique UID for every
NFS client user.
If you need to provide universal access to world-readable files, you can use the
default UID to avoid creating a proxy for every NFS client user. You should
avoid using the default UID if clients require additional file access; otherwise,
client users may see unpredictable and confusing results when they try to create
files. Refer to the HP TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS Management manual
for a detailed discussion about using proxies, the default user, and security
considerations.
/USER=user
Optional. Default: USER account.
Existing OpenVMS account to which the NFS client maps unknown UIDs.
If the client does not find the USER account, the DECnet account becomes the
default. If the client does not find the DECnet account, [200,200] becomes the
default.
/WRITE
/NOWRITE
Optional. Default: /WRITE.
Mounts files with WRITE privilege.
/NOWRITE mounts files as read only.
Examples
1.
TCPIP> MOUNT DNFS2: /HOST="loon" /PATH="/usr/users/curlew"
Mounts, on local device DNFS2:, the remote directory /usr/users/curlew ,
which resides on NFS server loon .
2.
TCPIP> MOUNT DNFS3: /HOST="sigma" -
_TCPIP> /PATH="/usr" /AUTO=(INACT:00:10:00)
Using automounting, this command mounts the /usr file system from sigma
onto the OpenVMS mount point when it references the path name. The client
keeps the path mounted for an inactive period of 10 minutes, after which it
dismounts the path name.
3.
TCPIP> MOUNT DNFS4: /HOST="sigma" /PATH="/usr" -
_TCPIP> /BACKGROUND=(DEL:00:01:00,RET:20) /RETRIES=4
Attempts to mount the /usr file system. If it cannot, it waits 1 minute and
retries the connection up to 20 times.
4.
TCPIP> MOUNT DNFS5:[USERS.MNT] /HOST="sigma" /PATH="/usr"
%DNFSMOUNT-S-MOUNTED, /usr mounted on _DNFS5:[USERS.MNT]
TCPIP> MOUNT DNFS5:[USERS.MNT] /HOST="sigma" /PATH="/usr/users" /FORCE
%DNFSMOUNT-S-REMOUNTED, _DNFS5:[USERS.MNT] remounted as /usr/users on SIGMA
Specifies a lower level in the NFS server path with the second mount. This
constitutes another path name and qualifies for an overmount.
