HP-UX 11i LAN/NFS server problem part II

[Edmund Manabat_1]

Hi
Problem:
The server LAN0 was acidentally disabled and when the server is rebooted, it halts in NFS server. Showing this message:
"NFS server not responding"

I have tried the following steps based on a previous problem:
ON BOOT:
bo

Y to interact

hpux -is

On single user mode enter command:
mount /usr

Then I run set_parms addl_netwrk and set the necessary information.

But still the server is halting in NFS while booting.

Can anyone help me on this?

question: is LAN0 the name of the nfs server?

Hi Edmund,

So once the server is booted from ISL does lan0 come up? (ie,lanscan) Have you setup the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf & /etc/exports files correctly?

Hi

After booting on single user mode, check for the following.
1) In /etc/rc.config.d/netconf check for the Interface State.. This should be up, if not make it up.
2)If u can use the system without using the NFS till bootingbis finished, do change as follows in nfsconf file in /etc/rc.config.d

NFS_CLIENT=0
NFS_SERVER=0

After changing these, boot in normal mode. Then check the network status and start the NFS server as follows
/sbin/init.d/nfs.core start
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start ( Only if you are using as NFS server)
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start

Then try to NFS mount your NFS shares

Hope this helps

When you boot into single user, in addition to setting NFS_SERVER and NFS_CLIENT to 0 in the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf directory set the automounter values to 0.

You have references in either the /etc/fstab or your automounter maps to NFS servers that you can't reach any more or there are IP or name resolution issues for those systems. Since lan0 was disabled its probable more of the case that you cant reach the NFS servers in question. You should get more details out of the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log or OLDsyslog.log regarding which NFS servers are failing.

Disabling those services will allow you to boot and to troubleshoot the problem.
