Problem with NFS mount on OpenVMS 7.3-2

Karen Lee_3 — Mon, 23 Oct 2006 10:41:47 GMT

I am trying to configure NFS - I have enabled and started portmapper, but my service 'mount' is disabled and won't let me enable it. I keep getting

Message from user INTERnet on CAMVMS
INTERnet ACP Error during process startup, Nolisten Service Disabled - MOUNT Ser

can anyone help?

Karen,

did you use the TCPIP$NFS_STARTUP/SHUTDOWN procedures under SYS$MANAGER to start the service?

When I enable/start the service PCNFS using TCPIP$CONFIG, the procedure creates a user TCPIP$PCNFS. Did that happen on your system (MC AUTHORIZE SHO TCPIP$PCNFS) and is this the user defined for the service (TCPIP SH SERV PCNFS /FU)?

Note that PCNFS is not needed for normal NFS
to work. If you enabled PCNFS without
configuring it properly, you could be making
extra trouble for yourself.

This one has bitten me about 3 times. Usually when I set up a new cluster.
