Autofs In Solaris

If remote share information is specified in 
/etc/vfstab file located at nfs client then 
whenever nfs client boots it runs mountall 
command and tries to mount all local as well
as remote file systems.If remote server is down
nfs client fails to mount the file system 
specified in /etc/vfstab file.
Autofs allows to automatically mount remote 
file systems when remote server comes up.

The daemon associated with autofs service 
is auotmountd.

The database files that holds the automount
info are :

1. /etc/auto_master : It contains mount points
   with maps.

2. /etc/auto_home : It contains indirect maps
   for the home directory across the network.

3. /etc/auto_direct : This file is not available 
   by default , it has to be created and it 
   contains directory maps of network shares.


Autofs can only be configured at client side.

As most of the time SPARC based servers are installed using the Oracle Solaris 11 Text  Installer (installing the solaris-large-server group of software packages), the desktop  environment is not installed (mostly to keep the system lightweight) .

For beginners , who haven’t worked on any unix/linux system , it takes time to adjust to the commands and syntax of terminals (The so called black screen).   Installation Overview To accomplish our task   we will   follow these three steps: 1.
