Need help to access a CIFS share in Unix

[#1]

Hi,

I need help with accessing a CIFS share on an Unix server. This share is mixed style in qtree.

The share is accessible from windows server through a specific account "_NASVOLsrv".

This account is mapped to root unix account in the usermap.cfg file. I am able to mount this share but when I try to access this share I get permission denied.

The windows name for the share is nassharet01 while Unix name is /vol/nasvol01.

#cifs access

nassharet01      /vol/nasvol01
                        nascorp\_NASVOLsrv / Full Control
                        nascorp\administrator / Full Control

Usermap.cfg file  have the following entries -

administrator == root

nascorp\_NASVOLsrv == root

nascorp\administrator == root

nas1ft01:/vol/nasvol01
                   633339904 411197072 222142832   65% /nas/nas1ft01/cbmsharet01

# cd /nas/nas1ft01/cbmsharet01
ksh: /nas/nas1ft01/cbmsharet01: permission denied

Any inputs provided for this issue will be greatly appreicated.

Thanks

I am not sure but I think you need to mount the same path in both CIFS and NFS.

CIFS is only for Windows and if you need a mount point in Linux you need to use NFS.

So I believe the answer is that you should just mount the same CIFS shared path with NFS as well.

Thanks, the share is also setup in NFS.

Did you configure the NFS export to have read-write access for all hosts? or you have to specify the host you want to be able to access the NFS export.

Magnus

In NFS it is configured as below -

Anonymous  User ID=0 Read-Write Access (All Hosts) Root Access  (bg1d0d01) Security (sys)

[#6]

Did you say the following path is the volume: /vol/nasvol01  ?

Do you have a Qtree in that path? or where is it?

Magnu

Yes Qtree is there & the volume where the Qtree resides is nasvol01

[#8]

What is the name of the Qtree?

I had a similar problem and I could not either access the volume, however when I changed the mount path to include the Qtree, everything worked.

Maybe that could help or maybe that is how it is setup already?

So the new NFS mount would be: /vol/nasvol01/'QtreeName'/

nasvol01 is the name of the Qtree.

It is already mounted with the Qtree name

nas1ft01:/vol/nasvol01
                   633339904 411197072 222142832   65% /nas/nas1ft01/cbmsharet01

The fstab file has the following entry on the Unix server -

nas1ft01:/vol/nasvol01 /nas/nas1ft01/cbmsharet01 nfs rw,hard 0 0

The only other thing I can think about is to click the Export All button from NFS-Manage in FilerView, in case you have made a change to the configuration.
