I have one Solaris host using a NetApp for home directories.

I want to transition the content over to a newer NetApp, and take the other system out of commision.

However, when I tried to rsync the files, it complained about permissions errors. I tried a manual chown, which failed, and I discovered that chmod fails as well.

So, it would look like the Solaris client does not have root permissions on the NetApp. But, the export configs on both NetApps are identical, and I did specify root access in the exports file (and tried a couple of variations using "exportfs -i", including specifying the whole class C the Solaris host was in).

Hostname resolution is going through the local files table, and then DNS. The new NetApp and the Solaris client both have host table entries for the IP of the other host.

The new NetApp is a 720, running 5.3.6r1.

Any ideas?
