NFS 3 on HP 11.0

[Tarun Jain_1]

I have an NFS client-server setup on HP. Client is mounting a server directory using IP address (i.e. :). As this IP is virtual IP of the system on Server. I made the interface down 2-3 times. Now, client complains that not able to contact NFS on given virtual IP. The NFS is running on the server as well as client is ablet to ping the virtual IP.

How did you configured vertual IP ?

Is it Clusterd server ?

You may required NFS toolkit of MC/SG.

The virtual IP is configured manually. I am manually enabling/disabling it.

Hi Tarun,

I have a few questions that may help drill down on the specific problem.

What error message does the client display when trying to mount from the virtual IP? Can the client mount using the real IP? Can other clients mount from this server using the virtual IP? What OS are both client and server running? What ONC patch are both systems running? What protocol (UDP or TCP) are you using for this mount? What mount options, if any, are you specifying?

Regards,

Dave

ONC is Open Network Computing. It is the suite of products that includes things like NFS, AutoFS, CacheFS, NIS, etc. Typically the "NFS" patches will be listed as ONC patches by swlist:

# swlist -l product | grep -E 'NFS|ONC'

This command should tell you which ONC/NFS patches are installed.
