I am trying to mount one NFS share in my Solaris Local zone.But I am getting error like below.

showmount -e hostname
showmount: hostname: RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Timed out.

I tried to ping the host but unable to reach.But the same host can be reachable from the global zone.

    Does the zone have network access? Can it ping the NFS server? Commented Jan 16, 2016 at 1:03
  • Yes,it has network access. Buy it is unable to reach the NFS server through ping.at the same time the client server is able to mount another share from a different NFS server. Commented Jan 17, 2016 at 2:35
  • Does the NFS server you can't reach respond to pings from other hosts? Commented Jan 17, 2016 at 13:28
  • Yes..the NFS server responds to otger servers... Commented Jan 17, 2016 at 15:04
  • You might be better off following the instructions at docs.oracle.com/cd/E23824_01/html/821-1460/z.admin.task-11.html for how to correctly add non-gz access to gz filesystems. Commented Feb 29, 2016 at 12:52

For the error showmount is giving you, I suspect that error implies that there is no NFS server running on the server you're running the command on. You note its a Solaris zone, but not which version of Solaris. You cannot run an NFS server inside a Solaris 10 zone. You can in one on v11 -- just check Oracle's documentation for the pre-reqs and procedure.
