AIX sample with NFSv4 mounts

Find a list of commands to start, stop, or verify the AIX automount daemon.

The AIX automount daemon can be started, stopped, or verified via command:

startsrc/stopsrc/lssrc –s automountd

Here is the auto_master config file:

/etc/auto_master

# Sample auto_master file
/sapmnt/HA2 auto.ha2.sapmnt

Here is the referenced file for sapmnt auto.ha2.sapmnt:

/etc/auto.ha2.sapmnt


exe     -rw,vers=4,hard,intr,sec=sys sapnfsv:/HFS/sapmnt/HA2/AIX/exe,binary,mvsmnt,rdrverf
global  -rw,vers=4,hard,intr,sec=sys sapnfsv:/HFS/sapmnt/HA2/global,text,mvsmnt,rdrverf,
         cln_ccsid(819),srv_ccsid(1047)
profile -rw,vers=4,hard,intr,sec=sys sapnfsv:/HFS/sapmnt/HA2/profile,text,mvsmnt,rdrverf,
         cln_ccsid(819),srv_ccsid(1047)
trans   -rw,vers=4,hard,intr,sec=sys sapnfsv:/HFS/sap/transAll/HA2trans,binary,mvsmnt,rdrverf

Important Note: For RHEL 8.x, you have to put quotation marks ("") around the parameters following the NFS server name in the map file, like:

exe             -nfsvers=3,rw,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192     
sapnfsv:"/hfs/sapmnt/HA1/exe,binary,mvsmnt,rdrverf"
profile         -nfsvers=3,rw,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192     
sapnfsv:"/hfs/sapmnt/HA1/profile,TEXT,mvsmnt,rdrverf,cln_ccsid(819),srv_ccsid(1047)"
global          -nfsvers=3,rw,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192     
sapnfsv:"/hfs/sapmnt/HA1/global,TEXT,mvsmnt,rdrverf,cln_ccsid(819),srv_ccsid(1047)"
trans           -nfsvers=3,rw,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192     
sapnfsv:"/hfs/sap/transAll/HA1trans,binary,mvsmnt,rdrverf,cln_ccsid(819),srv_ccsid(1047)"

Note: Use the 'binary' option for trans only if you start to install SAP on Z in a fresh environment. If you have already an SAP on Z environment that uses 'TEXT' option, then stick to that.
