To keep the forums high quality for all users, please take the time to format your posts correctly.

First of all, use Code Tags when you post any code or data samples so others can easily read your code. You can easily do this by highlighting your code and then clicking on the # in the editing menu. (You can also type code tags

```text
 and 
```

by hand.)

Second, avoid adding color or different fonts and font size to your posts. Selective use of color to highlight a single word or phrase can be useful at times, but using color, in general, makes the forums harder to read, especially bright colors like red.

Third, be careful when you cut-and-paste, edit any odd characters and make sure all links are working property.

Thank You.

Please execute svcs -x and post the output

question is, why should the nfs server be online? have you added an entry to

/etc/dfs/dfstab

and start the service? or do you share some dirs manually? or are there problems starting the service?

hi,

Actually i want to mount filesystem sharing from other server.so,i want to enable nfs client . htere is no entry in /etc/dfs/dfstab file.

Do you have any file system shared through nfs, on the system where you are checking the service, is there any file system mounted through nfs? If yes how did you have mounted them on the system. Also, see the log file as suggested by /var/svc/log/network-nfs-client:default.log. Post the detail of /var/svc/log/network-nfs-client:default.log.
