Re: exported nfs drive not mounting after reboot

I have some nfs mount points defined between Aix servers and after a reboot they do not automatically re-mount.
If I just issue a 'mount all' or specifically mount that filesystem it always mounts, no problem.

Example from lfs output.
Name Nodename Mount Pt VFS Size Options Auto Accounting
/tech/notes serverA /tech/notes nfs 102400 bg,soft,intr yes no

Section from /etc/filesystems:
/tech/notes:
dev = /tech/notes
vfs = nfs
nodename = serverA
mount = true
options = bg,soft,intr
size = +102400
account = false

I think this must be a simple issue to resolve but not sure where to start.

Do you have other nfs filesystems on this machine that do mount?

Check to make sure that /etc/rc.nfs is being run (it is not commented out
of /etc/inittab)

If rc.nfs is being run, make sure that the line '/usr/sbin/mount -v nfs all'
is being run.

Make sure that /usr/sbin/mount -t nfs or /usr/sbin/mount -v nfs all works
with no error messages.
