Have you configured a NFS server?..

Answer / venkatesh

There are three ways to configure an NFS server under Red
Hat Enterprise Linux: using the NFS Server Configuration
Tool (redhat-config-nfs), manually editing its
configuration file (/etc/exports), or using
the /usr/sbin/exportfs command.

For instructions on using NFS Server Configuration Tool,
refer to the chapter titled Network File System (NFS) in
the Red Hat Enterprise Linux System Administration Guide.
The remainder of this section discusses manually
editing /etc/exports and using the /usr/sbin/exportfs
command to export NFS file systems.

Answer / jatin shambharkar

Configure NFS to export the root/ and snapshot/ directories
by adding them to /etc/exports. For example:

/diskless/i386/RHEL4-AS/root/ *(ro,sync,no_root_squash)
/diskless/i386/RHEL4-AS/snapshot/ *(rw,sync,no_root_squash)

Replace * with one of the hostname formats discussed in
Section 22.3.2 Hostname Formats. Make the hostname
declaration as specific as possible, so unwanted systems
can not access the NFS mount

If the NFS service is not running, start it: service nfs
start

If the NFS service is already running, reload the
configuration file: service nfs reload
