Oracle Installation

[Ash_4]

Hi,
I have mounted Oracle CD using,

1. nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
2. nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
3. /usr/sbin/pfs_mount -t rrip -x unix /dev/dsk/c4t2d0 /SD_CDROM

But while running "orainst" it hangs and gives following mesg.

NFS server f1fa not responding still trying

Any idea to come out.

for pfs_mount you need to have NFS services started.

You can do this through SAM

[Alan Casey]

To manually start NFS:

nfs must be running on the system for PFS to work, even if the
system is standalone. To check to see if nfs is running,
use the command:

rpcinfo -p

and look for nfs and mountd in the last column.

If you do not find them, then make sure the following variables are
set in the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file:

NFS_CLIENT=1
NFS_SERVER=1
NUM_NFSD=4
START_MOUNTD=1

If you modified nfsconf, issue the following two commands to
restart the nfs server:

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

Go back and check Stefan's comments in your previous thread:

If you apply the Rockridge Extension patches, then you don't have to mess with pfs_mount - which, judging from the hundreds of questions posted about it, is a real pain to use. With the patches applied, you just use a regular mount/umount - much simpler.

Hi Alan Casey,
As you have suggested, nfs is already running.

Hiya,

I assume the name of your server is f1fa?

You need to make sure NFS is running - make sure rpcbind is running (ps -ef | grep rpcbind) and if it isn't, start it using /sbin/init.d/ scripts. Then make sure NFS itself is running by changing the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf to make everything the various configs to =1 from =0, then start NFS using /sbin/init.d/nfs* scripts.

Hope this helps.

hi everybody,
Hello James ,
I have checked as u suggested n found
rpcbind is not running.

how can i start it.

[James Beamish-White]

Just run /usr/sbin/rpcbind

If you have done hardening as suggested in the bastion host document, this file may have been renamed and you'll need to rename it back.

Cheers!
James

... you may need to restart your NFS services after you've got rpcbind running. Not sure there though.

Cheers!
James

PS: You may want to start awarding points too, you have some helpful answers above which you have not thanked with point awards.

hi james,
/usr/sbin/rcpbind doesnot exists.
