I have a new install of Solaris 10. I'm not exactly a unix admin, but
I can make my way around. I added a NFS share in the DFSTAB file just
as I have in Solaris 8 and 9. When I run 'shareall' or even when I go
through the Management Console to add a share, I get the error
"share_nfs: /shareddirectory: Operation not applicable" I then
realized that not all the daemons are running. I ran 'nfs.server
start', but for some reason this did not start anything. I manually
started nfsd and mountd, but this was no help. No matter what I get
the Operation not applicable error when running trying to share a
directory. Any idea??? If requesting information, please give
details. As I said, I can get around Unix, but I'm not quite to the
Unix guru level. Thank you in advance.

Hi,

I'm a newbie to Solaris 10 also, but one of the things that changed with
10 was that a lot of the "services" get started using a new service
manager. I'm thinking that NFS is probably one of these services, so
you'd have to start it using something like "svcadm". I think you can
list the services using "svcs".
