Check if the old IP is still in any of the files below and update it with the new IP.
/etc/hosts
/etc/rc.config.d/netconf
/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf
/etc/exports
DNS maps in your DNS server

If you make any changes in any of the files above, ensure that you update the service that is related to it.

Hi Eduardo,

Does this system even use Automount/AutoFS? If not, you can simply disable it and never see this message again. I'm not sure which version of HP-UX you're running, but the method of disabling the automounter is nearly the same on all versions - set the AUTOFS variable to 0 in the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file.

Regards,

Dave

Hi Eduardo,

If you have changed the IP adress of the NFS server you'll need to unmount and mount again your NFS filesystems.

Hi,

If you have changed the IP address, then you first make sure you can resolve the name resolution/reverse lookup from both server and client.

Try ping from both ends and if you get issues make sure that you updated all the config files.

From the server side, it is better to re-run the exportfs command.

As Pedro said, from the client side, try to unmount the FS and re-mount it.

regards.
