NFS error

dictum9 — Wed, 28 Dec 2005 23:48:27 GMT

I am trying to add a client for make_net_recovery and I am getting the following error message. The server is HP-UX 11.0, the client is 11.23.
Do I need configure the Ignite server as an NFS server?

nfs mount: get_fh: sba1pca402:: RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Timed out
nfs:mount: retry: backgrounding: /var/opt/ignite/client.mnt
ERROR: Failed to mount: "sba1pca402:/var/opt/ignite/clients"

Unable to set up the client directory for the system: "sba1pca413".

Is this happening because the Ignite server is misconfigured as the NFS server? I don't even have /etc/exports file.

It is trying to mount sba1pca402:/var/opt/ignite/clients file system. Can you try to mount manually and tell the result.

Shalom,

Do I need configure the Ignite server as an NFS server?

Yes.

The Ignite server needs to run NFS to enable the boot image to transfer and to accept make_net_recovery data.

It also needs the core OS of every OS you wish it to server swcopy (d) do the NFS mount point.

If I try to mount it manually, what's the mount point on the client?

Also, how do I configure the /etc/exports file?

# exportfs -v /var/opt/ignite/clients -anon=2
exportfs error: Can't open /etc/exports: No such file or directory
exportfs error: Can't open /etc/exports: No such file or directory

What does the above mean?

# mount sba1pca402:/var/opt/ignite/clients /tmp/ignite
nfs mount: get_fh: sba1pca402:: RPC: Program not registered
nfs mount: get_fh: sba1pca402:: RPC: Program not registered
nfs mount: retry: retrying(1) for: /tmp/ignite after 5 seconds
root@sba1pca413-B.11.23:/etc# bc

Hi,

1. you should create directory:
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/client_names

this directory is where you will put the image

2. you should create the file /etc/exports
and you should put these line there:

/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/client_names -anon=2

3. execute:
exportfs -av

regards,
Chen

Hi Sandy ... i had the same issue :)

Try to correct your nfs source location (check if it is a real IP of your Ignite-UX server)in cfg file:

nfs_source = "10.49.197.38:/ignite_depot/"

At least it helped me :)

Brgds,
