Mounting A Windows Share On AIX Using CIFS

This article will show you how to mount cifs、nfs、iso、cdrom on IBM AIX.

1.Mount Windows Share:

Before you do,ensure that the cifs_fs has been installed:

[root@dbserv1 /]# lslpp -l |grep bos.cifs_fs
  bos.cifs_fs.rte            7.1.0.0  COMMITTED  Runtime for SMBFS
  bos.cifs_fs.smit           7.1.0.0  COMMITTED  SMIT Interface for SMBFS
  bos.cifs_fs.rte            7.1.0.0  COMMITTED  Runtime for SMBFS
  bos.cifs_fs.smit           7.1.0.0  COMMITTED  SMIT Interface for SMBFS

If the cifs_fs package doesn't install,please insert AIX first dvd into cdrom and run following command:

[root@dbserv1 /]# install -a -d /dev/cd0 bos.cifs_fs

Now,you can use smit tools to mount:

[root@dbserv1 /]# smitty cifs_fs

Or,you can use following command to mount:

[root@dbserv1 /]# mkcifsmnt -f /share/cifs -d pub -h 172.16.255.192 -c 'jacky.lee' -p 'abc123/321' -t ro -N

-f:MountPoint
-d:RemoteShare
-h:RemoteHost
-c:user
-p:password
-t:Specifies whether file system should be mounted as read-only.
-N:Mounts the CIFS share with the options specified, but does not modify the /etc/filesystems file.

[root@dbserv1 /]# df /share/cifs
Filesystem    GB blocks      Free %Used    Iused %Iused Mounted on

[root@dbserv1 /]# ls /share/cifs/

172.16.255.192 pub              /share/cifs      cifs   Apr 14 13:44 ro

Or,excute following command:

[root@dbserv1 share]#mount -v cifs -n candon123/'jacky.lee'/'abc123/321' -o wrkgrp=workgroup,fmode=755 /pub /share/cifs
[root@dbserv1 share]# df

2.Mount A ISO file:

[root@dbserv1 /]# mklv -y dvd1 -t jfs2 rootvg 53
dvd1
[root@dbserv1 /]# lslv -l dvd1
dvd1:N/A
PV                COPIES        IN BAND       DISTRIBUTION
hdisk0            053:000:000   0%            000:000:000:053:000
[root@dbserv1 /]# cd share/cifs/
[root@dbserv1 cifs]# dd if=IBM.AIX.v7.1-DVD1.iso of=/dev/dvd1 bs=10M
257+0 records in.
257+0 records out.
[root@dbserv1 cifs]# mount -v cdrfs -o ro /dev/dvd1 /share/iso1
[root@dbserv1 cifs]# df /share/iso1
Filesystem    GB blocks      Free %Used    Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/dvd1          3.13      0.00  100%  1640871   100% /share/iso1
[root@dbserv1 cifs]# ls /share/iso1/
.Version      OSLEVEL       RPMS          image.data    ppc           usr
7100-00       README.aix    bosinst.data  installp      root
[root@dbserv1 cifs]#

3.Mount NFS:

[root@dbserv1 share]# showmount -e 172.16.255.5
export list for 172.16.255.5:
/u02 *.*
[root@dbserv1 share]# mount 172.16.255.5:/u02 /share/nfs
[root@dbserv1 share]# ls /share/nfs/netbackup/
NetBackup_7.5_LinuxR_x86_64
[root@dbserv1 share]#

If you get 'vmount: Operation not permitted' error,you must do this:

[root@dbserv1 share]# nfso -a
           client_delegation = 1
           nfs_max_read_size = 65536
          nfs_max_write_size = 65536
                 nfs_rfc1323 = 1
   nfs_securenfs_authtimeout = 0
    nfs_server_base_priority = 0
           nfs_server_clread = 1
      nfs_use_reserved_ports = 0
   nfs_v3_server_readdirplus = 1
    nfs_v4_fail_over_timeout = 0
                   portcheck = 0
           server_delegation = 1
             utf8_validation = 1
[root@dbserv1 share]# nfso -o nfs_use_reserved_ports=1
Setting nfs_use_reserved_ports to 1

4.Mount CDROM:

[root@dbserv1 /]# mount -v cdrfs -o ro /dev/cd0 /mnt
[root@dbserv1 /]# df /mnt
Filesystem    GB blocks      Free %Used    Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/cd0           3.13      0.00  100%  1640871   100% /mnt
[root@dbserv1 /]# ls /mnt/
.Version      OSLEVEL       RPMS          image.data    ppc           usr
7100-00       README.aix    bosinst.data  installp      root
[root@dbserv1 /]#

Maybe you can configure cdromd to automatic mount cdrom like this:

Edit /etc/cdromd.conf and append following line:
[root@dbserv1 /]# grep -v '#' /etc/cdromd.conf|sed '1d'
device  cd0     /share/cd
[root@dbserv1 /]# refresh -s cdromd
[root@dbserv1 /]# df /share/cd
Filesystem    GB blocks      Free %Used    Iused %Iused Mounted on
/dev/cd0           3.13      0.00  100%  1640871   100% /share/cd
[root@dbserv1 /]#
