Running 9vx is not exactly the same as running a cpu/file server, be it
natively or in qemu/vmware/whatnot. I haven't managed to use 9vx as a cpu
server (although I haven't tried very hard so far) while it's pretty
easy to do what you want once you have set up a "real" cpu server.

So you might want to replace one of the 9vx instances with a plan 9
install and then follow that guide:

that one might be usefull as well:

Hi,
this is probably a very basic question, but I am becoming quite
frustrated since I am not able to do what I want.
Imagine that I have 2 plan 9 installations. I just want to share a
namespace from one into the other using exportfs and import (or
whatever is needed). I do not want to authenticate the connections or
anything similar.
I did try import, exportfs, srvfs, listen, aan and maybe some other
tools but I am simply not able to access one namespace from one
machine from the other (they are really two 9vx instances on the same
machine).
I always end up with some factotum error. This is likely to be very
simple (given plan 9's nature) but I am now seriously confused with
the roles of import, exportfs, etc and how to skip authentication. I
read the man pages and some papers about file servers but I only see
complex examples and I am not able to figure out how to do it.
Saludos
