Error while mounting network drive using CIFS - Linux

[sanket]

This error I get when I try to map network drive using CIFS in Linux.


[root@oracle ~]# mount -t cifs -o user=admin,password=admin //ORACLEA/Alfresco /Z
mount error: could not find target server. TCP name ORACLEA/Alfresco not found  rc = 134526947
No ip address specified and hostname not found

Can anybody help
Have I to make any more changes in file-servers.xml file..

Please it's urgent

At first glance it looks like your DNS doesn't have an entry for "ORACLEA"

I assume your actual server name is ORACLE and alfresco appends an A so it is "ORACLEA"

this will not automatically register in DNS so you will have to manually add "ORACLEA" to the DNS

this line suggests a DNS issue

No ip address specified and hostname not found

some other things

Is your server firewall properly configured?

you will need to configure file-servers.properties and file-servers.xml

your cifs authentication mechanism will probably need to be "alfresco"

what is your environment server and client?

Yes ur first statement was right…
I removed 'A' and just continued with ORACLE instead of ORACLEA…
It is now working fine..

Actually one more problem I was facing was that-
I kept the smb server started…I had to stop it first…
That was my mistake


Really
Thank you so much…
