NFS activity log under 11.11

[Francis Noël]

Greetings !

I'm trying to get an activity log for the 11.11 NFS server.

So far I'v tried adding the following to /etc/rc.config.d

LOCKD_OPTIONS="-l /var/adm/syslog/lockd.log"
STATD_OPTIONS="-l /var/adm/syslog/statd.log"
MOUNTD_OPTIONS="-l /var/adm/syslog/mountd.log -t3"

So far only mountd.log is cooperating.

Is there a way to have nfsd itself log all file creations, deletions, failed requests and such under 11.11 ?

Thanks

Hello,

See "Logging and Tracing of NFS Services" from the "NFS Services Administrator's Guide":
http://docs.hp.com/en/5992-0715/ch08s05.html

Did you kill and restart the rpc daemons after modifying /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf?

# kill -SIGTERM $(UNIX95= ps -C rpc.lockd -o pid=)
# kill -SIGTERM $(UNIX95= ps -C rpc.statd -o pid=)
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

What happens when you toggle logging on/off?

# kill -SIGUSR2 $(UNIX95= ps -C rpc.lockd -o pid=)
# kill -SIGUSR2 $(UNIX95= ps -C rpc.statd -o pid=)

No. This level of nfsd logging arrived in HP-UX 11.31 (11i v3) via the nfslogd daemon.
