Additional mount command examples

In this example, the mount command is used to mount a set of MVS files. The PARM operand contains the NFS server text processing attribute and requires the use of double quotes around the string user,text.

mount filesystem(nfs00) type(nfs) mountpoint('/u/nfsdir')
parm('stlmvs3:"user,text",soft,timeo(100)')

In this example:

Operand: Description
nfs00: Specifies the name of the file system to be added to the file system hierarchy.
nfs: Specifies the required file system type.
/u/nfsdir: Specifies the name of the mount point (preferably an empty directory).
stlmvs3: Specifies the name of the host NFS server.
user: Specifies the name of the high-level qualifier of the MVS files on the NFS server.
Note: Based on the implicit prefix heuristic specified with the IMPPREFIX( ) site attribute, you may need to specify the MVS path type prefix to identify the file system being mounted as an MVS data set path. For example: parm('stlmvs3:"/mvs/user,text",soft,timeo(100)')
text: Specifies the processing attribute for the NFS server.
soft: Specifies the PARM operand option for the NFS client.
timeo(100): Specifies the PARM operand option for the NFS client.

In this example, the mount command is used to mount a z/OS UNIX directory. The PARM operand contains the NFS server binary processing attribute and requires the use of double quotes around the string /hfs/u/user,binary.

mount filesystem(nfs01) type(nfs) mountpoint('/u/nfsdir1')
parm('stlmvs3:"/hfs/u/user,binary",soft')

In this example:

Operand: Description
nfs01: Specifies the name of the file system to be added to the file system hierarchy.
nfs: Specifies the required file system type.
/u/nfsdir1: Specifies the name of the mount point (preferably an empty directory).
stlmvs3: Specifies the name of the host NFS server.
/hfs/u/user: Specifies the name of the z/OS UNIX directory on the NFS server. The '/hfs' prefix is optional based on the implicit prefix selection setting.
binary: Specifies the processing attribute for the NFS server.
soft: Specifies the PARM operand option for the NFS client.

In this example, the mount command is used to mount an AIX® home directory.

mount filesystem(nfs02) type(nfs) mountpoint('/u/nfsdir2')
parm('aix6000:/home/user,xlat(y)')

In this example:

Operand: Description
nfs02: Specifies the name of the file system to be added to the file system hierarchy.
nfs: Specifies the required file system type.
/u/nfsdir2: Specifies the name of the mount point (preferably an empty directory).
aix6000: Specifies the name of the host AIX NFS server.
/home/user: Specifies the name of the home directory on the AIX NFS server.
xlat(y): Specifies the PARM operand option for the NFS client.

In this example, the mount command is used to mount an AIX home directory using the NFS version 4 protocol.

mount filesystem(nfs03) type(nfs) mountpoint('/u/nfsdir2')
parm('aix6000:/home/user,xlat(y),vers(4)')

In this example:

Operand: Description
nfs03: Specifies the name of the file system to be added to the file system hierarchy.
nfs: Specifies the required file system type.
/u/nfsdir2: Specifies the name of the mount point (preferably an empty directory).
aix6000: Specifies the name of the host AIX NFS server.
/home/user: Specifies the name of the home directory on the AIX NFS server.
xlat(y): Specifies the PARM operand option for the NFS client.
vers(4): Specifies the version of NFS protocol that is being used.

In this example, the mount command is used to mount a Windows Share using the NFS version 4 protocol.

 mount filesystem(nfs04) type(nfs) mountpoint('/u/nfsdir4')
     parm('windowshost:"D:/",xlat(y),vers(4)')

In this example:

Operand: Description
nfs04: Specifies the name of the file system to be added to the file system hierarchy.
nfs: Specifies the required file system type.
/u/nfsdir4: Specifies the name of the mount point (preferably an empty directory).
windowshost: Specifies the hostname of the Windows NFS server.
D:/: Specifies the name of the share on the Windows NFS server.
xlat(y): Specifies the PARM operand option for the NFS client.
vers(4): Specifies the version of NFS protocol that is being used.
