[comp.sys.hp] HP support for NFS ?

tamir@ucla-cs.UUCP (01/31/87)

I recently saw an ad from Sun claiming that several other
companies, including HP, support NFS.
Has HP announced official support for NFS ?
Will it be supported on their 9000/320 workstations ?

NFS was demo'ed at the Uniforum Trade show (1/20/87-1/23/87) by HP on
the 9000/3x0 and 9000/840.

>Has HP announced official support for NFS ?

Work is currently being done to make NFS a reality on the 9000/3x0 and on
the 9000/840.  Because the product is still under development, firm release
dates are not available.

>Will it be supported on their 9000/320 workstations ?

Yes.  The entire s300 family will support NFS, including the new 4MIP s350.

HP has licensed NFS, but does not yet support it as a product. Stay
tuned to see if it really does get released for HP-UX.

As usual, HP has nothing to do with what I say here.
