How to reshare nfs through afp to clients?

So here's the setup I've got going on:
Solaris file server with NFS
Mac OS X Server 10.6 with OD
30 Mac OS X workstations
My questions is: how do I configure the Mac OS X Server to re-share the NFS storage from the Solaris server to auto-mount on the Mac client machines with AFP?
P.S. same setup works like a charm on the PCs through SMB.

Resharing NFS Mounts as AFP Share Points
http://docs.info.apple.com/jarticle.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.6/en/fse722ed35.htm l ( OSX Server 10.6 )
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=ServerAdmin/10.5/en/c2fs10.html ( OSX Server 10.5 )
And on the Linux/Solaris Server side, you have on your /etc/exports lines like this:
/home3 10.10.11.1(rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,sync)
or
/home3 odserver.domain.com(rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,sync)
but you could have that line too, showing the nfs server to the whole 30 workstations.
/home3 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,fsid=0,insecure,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,sy nc)
But in the best scenario, nfs servers are only visible to the OD server, which plays its role of pivot point.
All workstations connect and see only OD, not NFS Solaris servers.
I have Fedora 11 (NFSv3) and OS X 10.5 and 10.6, it works fine. On 10.7 it's another story.
it mounts the NFS share, it shares it as usual.
but the Workgroup Manager or OS X Client creates only Documents, Downloads, Library and Sites.
No Desktop, Movies, Music, Pictures, Public folders, it must certainly hang at Library folder. I've tested it with 10.7.0
If you list files  ls -l on the NFS server
You will see that the folders created through 10.5 or 10.6 OSX Servers are owned by root. in 10.7 Server they are owned by nobody (id 65534).

  • How to PREVENT NFS shares showing on clients?

    Folks: Can someone clue me in as to how it is that our server's NFS shares are showing up automatically on Mac clients (under Network..) -- and how to prevent that from happening?
    For various reasons of idiosyncratic mix of machines, OSes etc, our server has SMB shares set up for Windows and Mac clients which work just fine, plus some NFS shares for linux and particularly for ancient SGI. We don't want Macs interacting with the server via NFS, yet those shares show up consistently on the clients, and confuse the heck out of users.
    How do set the Mac clients to not ever do anything NFS? (On the server I could limit NFS exports' to specific IP addresses, but that's a moving target and likely to cause more grief than help...).
    Thanks,
    Graham

    Jeff: We absolutely do NOT want the Mac users to be using NFS at all for anything. If we get involved in that game then we have to manage assignment of UIDs and GIDs for Mac users, which then impacts on the UIDs and GIDs that they use within their own Mac file systems and things go downhill from there. As it stands, the Mac users apparently have some default UID/GID which happens not to correspond to a UID/GID with privileges beyond RO, hence they can see but can't edit (thank goodness) dirs and files that they think they should be able to. We haven't even investigated whether those default UID/GIDs are even consistent across Macs (which of course is a problem in its own right), or what. Anyhow, it's big hairball that's totally unnecessary and useless.
    It appears to me that some apparatus in the Mac is gratuitously detecting, mounting (or automounting) the NFS shares that can be detected on the network. If I could just turn that off, I think we'd be where we want to be. I guess turning off the entire NFS protocol for Macs might be a separate way to go.
    Must admit, I'm getting closer to doing this "right" -- limiting NFS access in the server exports to specific client IPs.. but that's going to be a mess also.

  • How do I access the remote(requesting) clients IP address through the Portal API?

    How can I access the remote(requesting) clients IP address through the Portal API?
    On our 4.5 - IIS system, we can acces it using the Request.ServerVariables("Remote_Addr") in the ASP pages.
    We are deploying 5.0 on Java Portal and would like to be able to do this through the Portal's API so I can call it in one of our custom login Activity space or control etc.
    I have looked documentation for the HTTPServletRequest object. It seems like we should be able to access it through one of the methods getRemoteAddr if we can get a handle to HTTPServletRequest object through the Plumtree's framework.
    I think the XPRequest object encapsulates the HTTPServletRequest but I didn't see getRemoteAddr method listed in the Javadocs.
    Is there a way to access the client's IP address through the Plumtree's framework?
    I need to do this so we know the location of the user and in our business case we have fixed IP adresss which let us identify which location is user accessign the system from. We can't do this through preferences or profile because we have to use generic userid for the specifc group of users.
    Any help on this would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Vanita

    Hi, Vanita. For now, you can use
    stringsClientIP = HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables["REMOTE_ADDR"].ToString();
    Hope that helps!

  • How to Create NFS in Linux

    Hi all,
    I am very much new to Linux Admin, i am basically working as a apps dba, i have two servers, i installed Oracle Linux on that, now i want to create NFS file system, i have created u01 mount pioint in Linux1 and u01 in linux 2 with same space , i am able to ping both servers and i am able to do ftp both servers, could any one explain me how to create NFS in linux servers,
    Thanks

    On the server, edit the file <tt>/etc/exports</tt> to list the directories you
    want NFS to offer, and to which systems they should be offered:
    /u01    *(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
    /u02    *(rw,sync,no_root_squash)
    /u03    *(rw,sync,no_root_squash)The <tt>*</tt> matches any system/network and the <tt>(rw)</tt> says let the
    other systems read and write the tree, the <tt>sync</tt> forces the server NFS
    to finish the I/O before telling the clients the I/O is done, and the optional
    <tt>no_root_squash</tt> lets root on a client system access the files as if
    they were root on the NFS server; this may not be what you want.
    # /sbin/chkconfig nfs on
    # /sbin/service nfs startOn the NFS client, edit the <tt>/etc/fstab</tt> file to have lines that look
    like this:
    myserver:/u01 /u01 nfs rw,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,sync,nointr,hard 0 0
    myserver:/u02 /u02 nfs rw,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,sync,nointr,hard 0 0
    myserver:/u03 /u03 nfs rw,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,sync,nointr,hard 0 0and then from the client make sure you can see the offered files:
    # /usr/sbin/showmount -e myserverand if you can, do this on the client:
    # mkdir /u01 /u02 /u03
    # mount /u01
    # mount /u02
    # mount /u03If the clients ever reboot, the NFS files will be mounted automatically and you
    will not need these last 3 commands.
    The RDBMS has its own requirements for the options in the <tt>/etc/fstab</tt>
    entry, so the <tt>rw,rsize=...</tt> example may need to be adjusted a little.
    Happy NFS'ing.

    (ex. local pc > saprouter > telnet some system)

    Hello
    You can use SAPRouter for make a telnet connection between your client and remote host, but ssh is not supported by SAP (OSS note #37001).

    What are the pros/cons of mounting the User's network home through NFS and AFP (for portable home directories)? Is either the preferred choice (given both would "work")?

    One pro of NFS is the fast user-switching. And IMHO is NFS a little bit faster than AFP. I guess apple's concentrating on NFS in future...?!

  • How to print formated data/report on client's printer (Web Application)

    Hi All
    I want to print some formatted data/report ( it might be 1000 pages) on user's printer.
    Application is web based
    Technology used are Java - jsp - servlets
    i want functionality like...
    when user click on print button/link, data is fetched from server and all pages (it is formated data so i want alignment on page while printing) should be printed one after another.
    Also printer selection dialog should displayed one time when user click on print button/link.
    Questions:
    1. How i will transfer all data to client (web browser) from the server ??
    2. And how i can print that data on user's printer ??
    There is requirement (or limitation) that I can not use applet for this purpose.
    And also it is not fix that we must use java tech., we can use any othere tech. but condition is that it must support multiple platform (in short platform indipendant)
    There is solution like ...
    I can use window.print() function of DOM/JavaScript,
    but it prints only one page which is displayed on browser.
    I don't want to display any page. and want to print all pages.
    if any one done or have idea then let me know.
    Thanks in Adv.
    Shailesh Koradiya

    thanks linxpda for reply,
    we can use ActiveX component for windows platform for printing purpose, same way we can use platform specific component for printing... (for linux, unix, sun solaris etc...)
    if it is possible then let me inform.
    Thanks,

    You never delete a Time Machine backup by dragging it to the Trash. You are supposed to use the TM application to manage the backups. What you will need to do now is to simply erase the drive using Disk Utility.

    hmmm, CTS = cutomizing transport?
    If you have a customizing table, there are still two possibilities.
    1. customize in DEV system and transport
    2. customize right there where you need it.
    this depends on how the maintainance view is built. If it is a simple customizing table and you get not asked for a TR when customizing a new record or changing an existing one, you hit possibility 2.

  • How to stream music through Apple TV?

    Just learning the uses of Apple TV. So I know it mirrors devices &amp; can turn tv into a huge monitor, but what else can it do? How to play music through it, since it's not connected to home stereo?

    The Apple TV will not act as a computer in any way.
    It connects via wifi to your home network.
    Home sharing allows it to show your iPhoto pictures, iTunes content, Apple radio and more through the TV
    You can play your Netflix or Hulu membership with Apple TV Apps.
    Movies or TV shows purchased or rented can be shown with Apple TV
    Many people use a sound bar or are connected to a home theater which improves music quality.
    I prefer my Roku to the Apple TV because it has more Apps (Amazon among others) 
    If you have a Windows PC, rather than a Mac, you should consider Roku not Apple TV

  • Help needed with using network disk with iMovie with NFS or AFP

    Hi,
    I have iMac with iMovie08 that talks to a remote disk hosted under Linux over a gigabit network using SMB (Samba). It all works ok and I have done a few movies.
    Now, I have done some tests with NFS and AFP (AppleTalk) and it seems that these are much faster than SMB.
    I then stopped the Samba server and proceeded to setup NFS and also AFP
    First NFS,
    So I then exported my directory using NFS and I can see everything from my Mac (correct permissions too since I made both user and group IDs the same...). The problem is that when I launch iMovie it shows me the Volume for my external networked disk but it shows it with a little triangle with yellow exclamation and it does not show any of the events (>500GB of events).
    If I stop NFS and then switch to AFP I get the same behavior. That is, everything from the Mac works on the AFS mounted disk (copying files back and forth, etc....) but I can't see the contents of the disk from within iMovie
    I changed permissions so that anybody can read/write/execute (although there are files that have an '@' sign at the end when I do ls -l on them and I can't remember what that means....)
    If I stop NFS and then go back to SMB (Samba) then I am back to a working configuration.
    Can I use NFS or AFP with iMovie? What exactly does the yellow triangle mean?
    Thanks
