Re: automount : WARNING: "proto" ignored for /usr/sap/trans in /etc/auto.direct
could you have a job running trying to access the file system "proto"?
Please also :
grep -i proto /etc/auto.direct

Re: automount : WARNING: "proto" ignored for /usr/sap/trans in /etc/auto.direct
"proto" means protocol in /etc/auto.direct file...
(root)#grep -i proto /etc/auto.direct
/sapmnt/P30 -rw,hard,proto=udp frrou01sg:/export/sapmnt/P30
/usr/sap/trans -rw,hard,proto=udp frrou01sg:/export/usr/sap/trans
/usr/sap/sapsbi -rw,hard,proto=udp frrou01sg:/export/usr/sap/sapsbi
/sapmnt/WP1 -rw,hard,proto=udp usrou01sg:/export/sapmnt/WP1
/usr/sap/transWP1 -rw,hard,proto=udp usrou01sg:/export/usr/sap/transWP1
(root)#
I don't understand why you think "proto" is a file system ???

Re: automount : WARNING: "proto" ignored for /usr/sap/trans in /etc/auto.direct
had to cover the basics (typos etc.)
Can you please, check whether there is any additional info in:
/var/adm/automount.log
Could you also (temporarily) test:
/usr/sap/trans -o"proto=udp"
frrou01sg:/export/usr/sap/trans
I read the warning to mean that the default protocol (TCP) will be used.

Re: automount : WARNING: "proto" ignored for /usr/sap/trans in /etc/auto.direct
Can you tell me which OS you're running and which version of Automount/AutoFS you're running? This looks like an 11.0 system prior to NFS/TCP support, or a legacy automounter that didn't support TCP.
Please let me know which OS and Automounter you're running and I'll let you know if there are ways to work around this.
Regards,
Dave

Re: automount : WARNING: "proto" ignored for /usr/sap/trans in /etc/auto.direct
OS Version is HP-UX 11.11
I don't know how can I see version of Automount/AutoFS is running...
Now I have replace
/usr/sap/trans -rw,hard,proto=udp frrou01sg:/export/usr/sap/trans
with
/usr/sap/trans -rw,hard frrou01sg:/export/usr/sap/trans
and the error message doesn't appear anymore...
Thanks,

That makes sense, since the automounter is complaining about the "proto" option.
My guess is you're using the very old automounter here, which predates AutoFS and is not capable of making an NFS/TCP mount. This would explain why it didn't like the "proto" mount option - it predates the proto option.
If you are going to continue using an automounter of any kind on 11.11 I strongly encourage you to download the free upgrade to the Enhanced AutoFS, which can be found here:
http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=ENHAUTO
This is a much newer, much improved version of the Automounter. I can't emphasise enough how much better this version is over the older AutoFS, or in your case the legacy automounter.
Do yourself a favor and get this enhanced AutoFS as soon as possible and install it on any 11.11 system running NFS.
This recommendation only applies to 11.11 systems because 11.0 is out of support life and we ship the enhanced AutoFS on 11.23 and later by default.

Dave
