how to share a directory with nfs server and how client mount the nfs share..

Answer / daves

This is incorrect for Solaris; it doesn't have the exportfs
command.
You can edit the dfstab, as shown, which will take effect at
the next boot. Run the share command as it is in the file to
share immediately. (In Solaris 10 it's not necessary to
start the NFS server daemons first.)
The mount command is correct, except that the /ibm directory
must be created on the client before the mount.
The vfstab entry is incorrect. Depending on the importance
of the share, it could be:
sun1:/ibm - /ibm nfs - yes soft,bg
