Hi,

This type of problem can happen for a couple of reasons.

The remote system is down, or has a network problem.
The remote system does not allow a connection from this computer, see /var/adm/inetd.sec
The remote system does not have this system as part of it's exported file list, see /etc/exports file on the remote server.

hi,
check if the local system has entry of remote system in /etc/hosts.
ex:
x.x.x.x mashost
also check that /fs1/home is listed in /etc/exports in remote system. if not list it and run
#exportfs -a
Also ensure that nfs daemons are running on the remote machine.

with x.x.x.x mashost:

mountall: cannot mount mashost:/fs1/home
mountall: diagnostics from mount

The following steps are necessary to mount Filesystems via NFS:

Situation machine a has a directory and machine b wants to mount it:

on machine a:

- in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf NFS_SERVER=1
- /sbin/init.d/nfs.server start
- Filesystem in /etc/exports
- exportfs -a

on machine b:

- in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf NFS_CLIENT=1
- /sbin/init.d/nfs.client start
- mkdir /nfs_mountpoint
- mount

[Christian Gebhardt]

nfs mount: get_fh: marvin:: RPC: Program not registered

This error message results i NFS-Server is not running

The following daemons have to run on NFS-Server:

rpcbind
rpc.mountd
rpc.lockd
rpc.statd
a couple of nfsd

hi,
stop and start the nfs server on remote machine.
#/sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop/start
are both the machines HP servers?

Hi all,

The following action was taken to resolve the problem:

1. Create entry x.x.x.x mashosts in /etc/hosts (Local)

2. Edit the SET_MOUNTD=0 /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf (local)

3. /sbin/init.d/nfs.server start (Remote)

4. exportfs -a (Remote)

5. Mountall (Local)

The problem resolved and now is time for reward your guys.

regards,
Munawwar
