HP-UX 11.31 NFS server
Hello all.
We have an HP-UX 11.31 NFS server in our environment that exports a file system to many HP-UX NFS clients.
This works fine on all clients with the exception of a few HP-UX 11.31 servers.
On those servers, the following is written to /etc/rc.log:
Start NFS client subsystem
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S430nfs.client start":
----------------------------
Starting NFS CLIENT subsystem
Starting up nfs4cbd daemon
/usr/sbin/nfs4cbd
Starting up nfsmapid daemon
/usr/sbin/nfsmapid
Mounting remote NFS file systems ...
nfs mount: mkeadm01: : RPC: Unknown host
FAILURE CODE: 1
Mount failed! Possible local filesystem mount.
If local filesystem, then nfs.server will mount it.
Host mkeadm01 is our HP-UX 11.31 NFS server.
All the HP-UX clients are configured the same so I can't figure why the NFS is not mounting.
It does mount when I issue "mount -a" on the client it just doesn't mount during system startup.
Any thoughts on this?

Is there an entry in /etc/hosts for that server? Is DNS configured/working?
Does it work if you use an IP address?

Re: HP-UX 11.31 NFS server
Make sure that all your systems have the same /etc/nsswitch.conf.
Fof production servers, the reliable way to configure nsswitch.conf is:
# /etc/nsswitch.files: passwd: files group: files hosts: files [NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=continue] dns ipnodes: files [NOTFOUND=continue UNAVAIL=continue] dns services: files networks: files protocols: files rpc: files publickey: files netgroup: files automount: files aliases: files
Then, all important addresses (which will likely never change) are put in /etc/hosts. This removes the major impact on servers when the DNS server goes down.
