NFS mount failure

[Steven E. Protter · Accepted solution]

You need to make the above recommended -anon changes and re-run exportfs -a on the server.

You might want to make sure networking is right because network inconsistency commonly causes this error message, which I consider an old friend.

A rule: You can not boot an Ignite client off the Ignite server except using the built in lan card, lan0.

After the boot, you can do the ignite transfer through any card you want.

instl_adm -d on the server to display the information.

For this example, the nfs mount and ignite transfer is going to be lan2, adapt for your system.

lanadmin -x 2

Check the results. If they are not the maximum or expected values you have two choices:

1) lanadmin -X 2 100FD if 100 BaseT full duplex is your destired results.

2) Hard code desired settings in /etc/rc.config.d/hpbtlanconf and boot your box.

3) If your switch was built by Cisco, turn off auto-negotiate and have the Cisco admin hard code the desired settings on the port for the Ignite server and the Ignite client.

I have had and overcome your issue and would be happy to help. I'm about to hit the highway to get home for Passover but will check this case when I get there.

Michael:
Here's the byte counts. In vi at least, they are visually identical. I don't totally understand what that command you gave me does...

# ll /etc/inetd.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root sys 4395 Apr 1 09:50 /etc/inetd.conf
# ll /tmp/file_inetd
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root sys 4073 Apr 14 13:50 /tmp/file_inetd
#

I have attached the output from running diff on the two files. It's about as long as the files themselves, so there may be a sneaky newline early in one of the files or something making them appear to be totally different files.

Steven:
I too am going to have to head home in a moment. I haven't had a chance to digest and try out your response yet due to other job duties today, but I will return to it tomorrow morning, and I will no doubt have more info and questions at that time. Thank you very much all of you.

Oops, forgot the attachment...

I won't be able to get back to this thread for a day or two, my project list has been once again "re-prioritized". I will post again when I am able to try out the last set of suggestions...
Thanks again everyone.

Thanks! Apparently I needed to export the /A1 directory as well. The recovery ran without a hitch.
