Share Folder on AIX

I tried 'share folder aix' and I got few subjects that don't match mith my purpose.

So, I want to create a shared folder, between several servers (all of them on AIX 7.1.0.0), the principle is that once a server create a file on that folder, all servers can see'em.

It could be great if I don't have to install something, can you please help me, I don't know from what to start.

Many thanks

  • Here you can find IBM manual how to start NFS and share folder with.

    1. Install box.net.nfs* packages
    2. With smitty mknfsexp configure the directory to be shared
    3. Start NFS daemon
    4. Check on client if you see the share showmount -e <server name>
    5. smitty mknfsmnt to mount the filesystem
