NFS on my ANS

[ChristTrekker]

How do I mount an NFS share on my ANS? I seem to be missing a file called /sbin/helpers/nfsmnthelp, which some googling tells me is required under AIX. If it wasn't installed with the system, where can I get it?

mount hostname:share /mountpoint

no?

alternatively, use smit.

That's what I do. And I get the error

/sbin/helpers/nfsmnthelp: A file or directory in the path name does not exist.

I'm running 4.3.2++ on a 43P (4.3.2 plus 4.3.3 updates that managed to install)

$ cd /sbin
$ cd helpers
$ ls
aufsmnthelp   cfsmnthelp    dfsmnthelper  nfsmnthelp    v3fshelper
$ ls -l nfsmnthelp
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root     system     27468 Jun 26 2008  nfsmnthelp
$ file  nfsmnthelp
nfsmnthelp:     executable (RISC System/6000) or object module
$ uname -a

Do you have the installation media for the AIX you are using?

CD still sitting in the drive, and I've mounted it. But I don't know where I might find this, or how to manually install it if/when I do. AIX seems opaque to me, coming from a Linux/BSD/Solaris background.

With AIX I use smit to "install everything and accept all licenses".
