Post showmount -e "ignite_server"

Are you running this netrecovery as root on client? If yes, you need appropriate options in /etc/exports file on server. Root is always treated as unknown user unless specified.

Hi,

root in the NFS client by default will not get mapped to root in the NFS server.

Make sure ignite-ux server is exporting the NFS filesystems with the following options

-anon=2,access=

In the ignite-ux server

# mkdir -p /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/igniteclient1

# chown bin:bin /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/igniteclient1

# exportfs -iv -o -anon=2,access=igniteclient1 /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/igniteclient1

and then try the command. See if it helps

Sundar.

Anil, here is the showmount:
showmount -e sdc9008
export list for sdc9008:
/ignite_images/ignite/recovery/archives/sdc9002.sdc.sentara.com sdc9002.sdc.sentara.com
/ignite_images/ignite/recovery/archives/sdc9007.sdc.sentara.com sdc9007.sdc.sentara.com
/ignite_images/ignite/clients (everyone)
/ignite_images/ignite/recovery/archives/sdc9001-fe1.sdc.sentara.com sdc9001-fe1.sdc.sentara.com

Anil,
I am running it as root. Attached is the /etc/exports file from the ignite server.

[RAC_1]

/etc/exports file looks ok. What are the perms on /var/opt/ignite/recovery/archives/sdc9001-fe1.sdc.sentara.com. Should be bin:bin ownership and rw for owner and group.

Also what are the perms on var/opt/ignite/recovery/client_mnt/0x080009
C4D4C5/recovery/2004-03-11,12:44?

Anil

[Richard Murden]

I changed the perms on the sdc9001-fe1.sdc.sentara.com file. There are no files in the client_mnt directory on the server or client.

[RAC_1]

Try restarting nfs client and server on both machines

We got it to work. File permissions and ownership on client_mnt and client. Things are working a lot better now. Thanks to you both! Points have been assigned for both of you.
