Check if you can successfully ping/nslookup nfs server.
ping nfs_server
nslookup nfs_server_ip
nslookup nfs_server_name

Any more messages in dmesg, syslog.log??

Error:
-----
NFS server btc3x002 not responding still trying
NFS server btc3x002 not responding still trying


nslookup works fine

there is no errors in syslog

[Niraj Kumar Verma]

Could It be any patch problem ?

Regards

[Arunvijai_4]

Can you able to login to NFS server and check everything is up and running ? Are you able to mount from other client machines ?

-Arun

[Niraj Kumar Verma]

I tried mounting a exported file system from filer it seems to work as normal no issue ..

This particular HP server runs informix db and Java. is there any specific stuff required to run java on HP over NFS

Regards

[Arunvijai_4]

Java and NFS are unrelated, i dont think any Java process should be running for NFS. Can you check the patch level on your 11.11?

Do you use manual NFS mount or automounter??
ping nfs_server
Does it return ok??

If you use automounter, send -usr2 signal to automounter and it will create a debug file in /var/adm. This should give you enough details to start troubleshooting.
