Ignite Client NFS Failure

[Dan Matlock_1]

Maybe I have missed something, but after changing a client to another subnet, my ignites fail. Not really a ignite issue as of yet, since command line NFS mount fails as well. Just thought others have seen this.... It use to work, not it doesn't! nslookup resolves name/ip correctly from client/server

Did you re-export?

Any changes require re-export.
Also you mention changing to another subnet. Look at the "helper" section of boot a client from an Ignite server. This will be an issue.

[Dan Matlock_1]

yup re-exported, even bounce nfsd on server... It was placed in the same subnet as others that do work w/ignite server.

Command line NFS fails as well, there would be some configuration problem.

mount $SYSNAME:dir

What kind of error is reported?

[Dan Matlock_1]

# mount -F nfs eaip2:/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/tecdb1 /tmp/dan
Permission denied

This could be an export issue.

Check the /etc/xtab file. Is this path listed?

[Dan Matlock_1]

/etc/xtab looks good....

[Rick Garland]

The 2 lines in the /etc/exports needed would be;
/var/opt/ignite/clients -anon=2
/var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/$HOST -anon=2,access=$HOST


I would unexport them and then run through the exportfs command again.

found duplicate system entry in DNS, which caused name resolv. issues that prevented NFS from working.
