AIX - NFS - Export file system

Using smitty mknfsexp command we can export the file system

#smitty mknfsexp

One window will appear then you have to put the configuration

a. File system name (what file system you want to export i.e. /usr)

b. Specify the target host name (destination host name i.e. serverB)
If this box is empty, then this exporting file system is allowed to all the clients.

c. Specify the access permissions (Read only, Read write)

d. Host allowed root access (Source Server name, ServerA)

e. Then press enter button to execute the above configuration finally result will be OK, if you got OK output then your configurations are exported properly. If you got FAILED error message then you have to check the configuration.

NOTE: After exporting the file system, that exported file system will be added in /etc/exports, and /etc/xtab because while boot process, server is checking exported file systems from above files, if entry found in the above file then file system are exporting on boot process.
