Solaris 10 NFS server (daemon) configuration for sharing directories and files across the network.

First thing to do is make sure the NFS server is running:
# svcs network/nfs/server

If it's not running (STATE is offline) then:

# svcadm enable -r nfs/network/server
# svcadm enable -s nfs/network/server
# svcadm restart nfs/network/server

Check it again with:
# svcs network/nfs/server

Now, you will need to add the share to the /etc/dfs/dfstab file:
# edit /etc/dfs/dfstab



This will drop you at the end of the file, so go into insert mode (press i), add the line:

:share -F /vol1/shared <ENTER>
. <ENTER>

That last line is a dot (period) by itself.  Now to save and quit:
:wq <ENTER>



Alert the NFS server to look at the dfstab file with:
# share -F nfs

You can check the active exported directories with:
# share

Done.
