NFS Server hangs when share with option

[Damir Baronica]

Hi all,

I tried to setup simple NFS share between two HP-UX B.11.31 hosts.

NFS Server (server3):
/usr/sbin/share -F nfs -o anon=-1,rw=,ro=server1:server2,root=server2 -d "Share Region" /ddshare Dev

server2:
mount -F nfs server3:/ddshare /mnt
NFS server server3 not responding still trying

server3 syslog:
vmunix: WARNING: nfsauth: mountd not responding

Then shared without option:
NFS Serevr (server3):
/usr/sbin/share -F nfs -d "Share Region" /ddshare Dev

Mount on server2 success, and everything is OK.

What is wrong with ro and rw options?

according to the man page "rw" is valid, as is "rw=". No ideal what happens when you give "rw=" w/o list.

also, server2 has "root" access, and "read-only?". Not sure what the intent is there, as I'd think if you give root access, it would want tp have "read/write" as well

Shalom Damir,

Suggest introducing your options one at a time.

I'm not happy with the rw= and no list. That makes no sense. If you want to provide rw access then put a hostname on the list. Otherwise why is it there?

Hi all,

if you use:
/usr/sbin/ncweb -t, then browse to:
SMH-> Networking and Communications-> Networked File Systems-> Share/Unshare Filesystem
and add share with this command, the syntax is exactly as I wrote in my post.

I tried every possible combination of the share command from command line also, but the result is same.
Every time I used less parameter, but any combination of parameters doesn't work except simple command without any parameters, which means that I share to every host with write permission.


The failing commands are:

/usr/sbin/share -F nfs -o anon=-1,rw=,ro=server1:server2,root=server2 -d "Share Region" /ddshare Dev
/usr/sbin/share -F nfs -o ro=server1:server2 -d "Share Region" /ddshare Dev
/usr/sbin/share -F nfs -o ro=server2 -d "Share Region" /ddshare Dev
/usr/sbin/share -F nfs -o rw=server2 -d "Share Region" /ddshare Dev
/usr/sbin/share -F nfs -o rw=server2 /ddshare
/usr/sbin/share -F nfs -o ro=server2 /ddshare

Only this works:
/usr/sbin/share -F nfs /ddshare

If root have read-only or write access to the shared path is irrelevant in this case.
It shouldn't have access at all in final setup.

The problem is solved.
During the instalation of the server hostname was given as FQDN: server1.mydomain.local

# hostname
server1.mydomain.local

Changing the hostname to short name: server1
and restart of the nfs services (core, server and client) solved the issue.

# hostname server1

# hostname
server1

Also in the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf/ parameter:

HOSTNAME=server1.mydomain.local

is changed to:

HOSTNAME=server1

to retain short hostname after reboot.

The problem is solved changing the host name from FQDN host name server1.mydomain.local to short host name server1.
