I have HACMP cluster abc, service name Nfs server, which is exporting /export/abc to

other servers Eg: Nfs client1. on two of the 3 that NFS mount /export/abc, can't write
files.

Answer: We have to change the security method of that filesytem /abc on nfs server to
"sys"

showmount -e
export list for nfs server:
/export/abc Nfs client1, Nfs client2, Nfs client3.

nfs server:root:/> cd /abc


nfs server:root:/abc> ls -lrt
total 48
-rw-r----- 1 root system 0 dec 20 12:23 test

nfs client:root:/abc> cd /abc


nfs client:root:/abc> ls -lrt
total 48
-rw-r----- 1 root system 0 dec 20 12:23 test

Now we are able to write in to the /abc from client as well.
