RPC: Rpcbind failure

Pauline Patricia — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 13:02:29 GMT

Hi,

I get the following error message when I am trying to add clients to my Ignite server.

nfs mount: get_fh: ignitsvr:: RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Timed outnfs mount: get_fh: ignitsvr:: RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Timed

Please help me to resolve this issue.

Many Thanks!
Pauline

Hello Patricia,

You should check if the NFS server (associated processes) is running at the ignitsvr server side.

The above thread Johnson has posted is very good. I only make a small observation: If you NFS server is only a "server" - meaning that only exports filesystems, you do not need to start the client part.

So in this case do not run

/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start.

In fact, kill the client if you do not need it:

/sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop

Hi
For Horia, in my opinion it's better to change flags on /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf instead of doing a stop client
NFS_CLIENT=0 or 1
NFS_SERVER=0 or 1

I followed the steps given in the forum that Mr. Johnson has attached.

When i tried to mount the nfs share from my client it gives the follwoing error.

nfs mount: get_fh: ignitsvr:: RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Timed out

Could you please help me.

>>nfs mount: get_fh: ignitsvr:: RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Timed out<<<<

Did you did some first level checking ?

ping from

verse-vise

are you able to test with "ftp,sftp,scp" by trying "copy file via network Ignite server to Ignite client"

Re: RPC: Rpcbind failure

Pauline Patricia — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 05:49:01 GMT

Yes, I am able to ping as well transfer files via scp from Ignite server to client and vice versa.

FTP is blocked as we have hardened these servers.

>>>When i tried to mount the nfs share from my client it gives the follwoing error<<

while you are trying mount nfs mount point

Are you using "IP" or hostname ???

can pls try "IP" address on both side

Re: RPC: Rpcbind failure

Pauline Patricia — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 05:59:42 GMT

I tried with hostname as well with ip address.

Both gives same error.

Re: RPC: Rpcbind failure

Johnson Punniyalingam — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 06:07:23 GMT

hmm........" now my doubt goes" nsswitch file ?? how does it looks on both server

under /etc/hosts file -> do you host entries for both Ignite server & Ignite Client ??

also post "output for nsswitch file" both from Ignite & ignite client

Prasanth Thomas — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 06:09:20 GMT

Hi,

Can you please try to mount manually and let me know the out put.

From ingnite clinet run the below command.

# mount -F nfs ignitsvr:/var/opt/ignite/clients /tmp

Prasanth Thomas.

Hi,

Please let me know the file permission
ls -ltr var/opt/ignite/clients

Is it sure that the /var/opt/ignite/clients directory is exported?.

Yes, host file in client has entry of Ignite server and host file in server has entry of Ignite client.

Here is the output of nsswitch file of Ignite server and client.

So none of the clients available in Ignite srever.
