Start the NFS daemons at system startup

Edit online

The NFS daemons, by default, are not started during installation.

When installed, all of the files are placed on the system, but the steps to activate NFS are not taken. You can start the NFS daemons at system startup through:

  • The SMIT fast path, smit mknfs
  • The mknfs command.

All of these methods place an entry in the inittab file so that the /etc/rc.nfs script is run each time the system restarts. This script, in turn, starts all NFS daemons required for a particular system.
