AIX 5.1 -- Easiest way to mount a remote filesystem?

I want to mount a remote filesystem on our AIX 5.1 box.  I am thinking I would share the filesystem from a redhat linux box.   What is the easiest way?

Thanks all!  I got it mounted, and it seems to be working OK.   Just a couple questions.

If I just use mount myhost:/myexport /mount_myhost -- then it will NOT remount on reboot -- correct? (I do NOT want it to remount on reboot)

Also -- is it safe to assume that it will not try to back up things residing in this mount during the nightly full sysback backup?


Yes to both questions.
A simple mount command does not manipulate any sytem configuration, and sysback works on a device basis and ignores networked (RPC) items.

you rock wmp.  Thanks!

One last question -- do you see any problem with me restoring files from tape to a new location, and picking the NFS mount as the new location?



Thanks!
