NFS Entries Not Mounting On Boot In Solaris 10 or Solaris 11
APPLIES TO : Solaris 10 Version 10 3/05 and later or Solaris 11
SYMPTOMS : NFS file system that will mount at boot (that /etc/vfstab field is "yes") results in failure to even attempt to mount the configured NFS filesystem upon boot.
CAUSE : Solaris 10 11/06 release introduced the "Secure by Default" profile. One of the services that was disabled by default was svc:/network/nfs/client:default.
Without nfs/client:default enabled, along with all its required dependencies, /etc/vfstab entries for NFS will not be mounted at boot time.
SOLUTION :
1. Use the recursive "-r" option to svcadm(1M) to ensure all required dependencies to nfs/client are also started:
# svcadm enable -r svc:/network/nfs/client:default
2. Ensure nfs/client is running normally and all "required" dependencies are met prior to reboot:
# svcs -l nfs/client3. Reboot the system and check /etc/mnttab or "df -h" output to confirm.
NOTE: this is specific to a particular zone - nfs/client must be enabled in non-global zone NFS clients as well as the global zone. Each zone is effectively an independent NFS client.
