can i restart rpcd?

[hpuxrox]

I need to restart rpcd to troubleshoot a midaemon problem. can anyone tell me what this affects?

[Fred Ruffet]

This will affect (at least) NFS server/client/core and NFS based products such as PFS daemons. CIFS may also need to be stopped restarted.
As these are FS daemons, you'll have to unmount all related FS before stopping those daemons, and mount them after.

Regards,

Fred

Hi Yates,

rpcd is a function of DCE - specifically remote procedure calls in the Distributed Computing environment. DCE can control a lot of thing in a DCE call - including:

* Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Facility, supporting both connection-oriented (TCP/IP) and connectionless (UDP/IP) transport protocols.


* User-space Threads, based on Draft 4 of POSIX 1003.4a, Threads Extension for Portable Operating Systems.


* Cell Directory Service (CDS), including CDS server replication.


* Access to the CDS name space through the X/Open Directory Service (XDS) and X/Open Object Management (XOM) services. The OSF DCE 1.0.3 versions of the XDS, XOM, and dua libraries are a part of libdce, and the necessary XDS and XOM header files are provided.


* Security Service, including security server replication and additional security server replication functionality, and the Audit Service.


* Distributed Time Service (DTS); this release supports ntp, null, and Spectracom DTS time providers; it also supports global time servers and DCE time zones.


* Global Directory Agent (GDA), using the Berkeley Internet Naming Daemon (BIND).


* 64-bit libraries to support DCE 64-bit application development.


* Kernel-threaded (POSIX 1003.1c) DCE.

Search rpcd on docs.hp.com for further details.

HTH,
Jeff
