Serviceguard NFS

[Jannik]

I have a 3 node cluster and i try to start the NFS cluster on all nodes. For some reson, it fails on one of the nodes.

It seem to be someting with the rpc.statd.

Shalom,

Maybe use nmap to check the open ports on these systems firewalls. There may be a firewall problem.

Also, check that entries in /etc/exports and the serviceguard package configuration exist and have appropriate permissions.

might want to make sure nfs is configured to start

check /etc/rc.config.d/*nfs* and make sure the processes are setup

then run the /sbin/init.d/*nfs* start

run all of the nfs scripts to start the daemons on all systems.

I needed to install this pkg:
nfs-utils-1.0.9-35z.el5_2

it was the nmap that got me on the track tnx SEB.
