All DFS packages (that is, NFS) become operational automatically whenever you take your system to system state 3; however, DFS can be started in other run levels by entering commands at the command prompt.
To start DFS automatically, use the init(1M) command to take your system to system state 3. If you choose, you can have your system enter state 3 automatically when you boot by changing the ``initdefault'' line in the /etc/inittab file to read:
is:3:initdefault:For more information on system states, see ``About system states''.
DFS Administration allows you to share and mount resources explicitly, by entering commands at the command line, and automatically, by editing files that share and mount resources when you take the system to system state 3. Commands can be entered explicitly in any system state once you start distributed file system operation. Automatic sharing and mounting is done only when your system enters system state 3. When you exit system state 3, any resource you shared is automatically unshared, and any remote resource you mounted is automatically unmounted.
