cant boot server after moving to a different network

[keith_10]

I recently moved my B2000 server from one network to another and now it hangs at the NFS server startup.

How do you get by this? Better yet, I need to changed the ip address. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks,

Keith

Boot your server to single-user mode. Then run:

/sbin/set_parms ip_address

After changing your IP info, reboot. Your problem with the NFS server will probably go away.

I got the ip address changed (thanks, Jim!), but it still hangs on startup of nfs client subsystem.

How would I go about disabling nfs? Or does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks,

Keith

Hard to say what could be wrong with NFS. But to disable it:
1. reboot into single-user mode
2. init 1
3. vi /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf
4. Set NFS_SERVER=0 and NFS_CLIENT=0
5. init 3 or reboot

NFS will not start and at that point you can start diagnosing the problem further.

Hi,

NFS server will hang on startup if there is a discrepancy between the hostname and/or ip address in /etc/rc.config.d/netconf and /etc/hosts. Either run set_parms hostname to finish off your migration or edit these files manually.
