Re: NAS 1200s NFS Hang
I have seen issues like this in the past and using the mount options really helped both performance issues and even hang issues.
mount -t nfs -o tcp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 host:/share /mount-point
example: mount -t nfs -o tcp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768 192.168.1.150:/testshare /testshare

Re: NAS 1200s NFS Hang
I would try using NFS over TCP, but it is not supported under Solaris 8, the OS of the NFS clients.
Thanks.

Re: NAS 1200s NFS Hang
Hmm. Ok. The TCP is not as inmportant as the 32k block size. I assume you are using UDP then and that is faster than TCP is anyway.
After re-reading the failure description, it sounds like the entire server locks up. I am wondering if the NFS shares is just a side symptom of some other issue like non-paged or paged memory running out. One of these being depleted would certainly result in a hung, non-responsive system that would require a reboot to clear everything out.
Are the event logs showing any errors? The non-page and paged memory errors are 2020 and 2019. I think some other 20xx errors are also possible.
Do you have any AV software installed on the 1200s? If so, what version? I know there are some issues with certain versions of Symantec AV software causing 2020 errors (they have a patch for it).
Do you have applications like OVSM or any other type of data replication software installed? If so, what version?

Re: NAS 1200s NFS Hang
Have you run poolmon before? If you have, run it while you perform the copy operation and see if any memory tag is increasing in size dramatically and note what the tag name is and whether it is non-paged or paged.
If you have not run it before, log on the the nas console or remote desktop and go to c:\hpnas\support tools. From this directory, run poolmon -b (sorts it by byte size).

Re: NAS 1200s NFS Hang
They have made some NFS updates in the SR 5.4 kit for the NAS 1200s running WSS 2k3.
It can be ordered here:
http://software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductsList.do?category=NAS
Here are the release notes for SR 5.4 as well:
http://h200002.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00305784/c00305784.pdf
Large I/O on an NFS mount point hangs NFS server
If you experience a problem with the NFS server not responding, increase the read/write buffer size.
Increase the buffer size by changing the mount options to:
mount -o rsize=32768,wsize=32768 server:/share /mount
If the NFS client is in a hung state, the client may need to be rebooted and the NFS server service may
need to be restarted on the Storage Server. To restart the NFS server service on the Storage Server, do the
following:
1. Open a command prompt.
2. Type net stop nfssvc.
3. Type net start nfssvc.
The SR5.4 cd is not available for download and must be ordered currently. It is free to order.
Ciao,
Greg

Re: NAS 1200s NFS Hang
I have ordered SR5.4, and will install on the 1200s as soon as I receive it.
I also used poolmon.exe to monitor the NAS during a large I/O transfer, and did not notice anything out of the ordinary during the transfer, but as soon as the NFS service hung, any reference to it dropped off of poolmon. This time, the console was still responsive on the NAS, but I was unable to stop/restart the NFS service and had to resort to rebooting the NAS.
I appreciate everyone's help with this problem. I am currently working HP support as well, but the engineers don't seem to have an answer either.
