Solaris 10 uses the Service Management Facility (SMF) to manage services. As such you need to do the following to enable NFS.

To enable the NFS server daemon:

  svcadm enable network/nfs/server

To enable the NFS client daemon:

  svcadm enable network/nfs/client

Earlier releases of Solaris use classic System V init scripts. As such, to permanently enable the NFS daemons, do the following

Server:

  cd /etc/rc3.d
  ln -s ../init.d/nfs.server S90nfs.server
  cd /etc/rc1.d
  ln -s ../init.d/nfs.server K10nfs.server

Client:

  cd /etc/rc3.d
  ln -s ../init.d/nfs.client S50nfs.client
  cd /etc/rc1.d
  ln -s ../init.d/nfs.client K50nfs.client

To start these daemons manually:

  /etc/init.d/nfs.server start
  /etc/init.d/nfs/client start
