NFS client Subsystem FAIL

[Francisco Díaz]

Hi. I have installed HP-UX 11.0 on HP 9000 D class. When the machine turn on, appears the next message in the check section: NFS client subsystem FAIL.
I view the /etc/rc.log file, and appears this:

Start NFS client subsystem
Output from "/sbin/rc2.d/S430nfs.client start":
----------------------------------------

rpcbind already started,

starting up the Status Monitor daemon
/usr/sbin/rpc.statd
starting up the Lock Manager daemon
/usr/sbin/rpc.lockd
starting up the Automount daemon
/usr/sbin/automount -f /etc/auto_master

FAILURE CODE: 1
mounting remote NFS file system....
"/sbin/rc2.d/S430nfs.client start" FAILED....

I recently known this S.O. and I don??t understand this problem...

Help me!!!


Thanks!!

Was that a cold install or upgrade? I would start looking at the NFS mounts. Check which remote file systems are you trying to mount? any entries in /etc/fstab? Is the NFS server to which you are trying connect is running? Is it running NFS services there? Are you able to communicate with that server?

is a Cold Install

Again, if you are not using the NFS server/client functions, then turn it off by editing /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file. Replace 1 with 0 on these entries:

NFS_SERVER=0
NFS_CLIENT=0

This will disable the services. You can stop and start the services:

# /sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.servcer stop

From next reboot, you will not get those messages.

I would recommend going to itrc.hp.com and doing the following:

1) Download and install the December 2002 Gold Quality Pack for 11.00 or 11.11 whichever you use.

Then.

2) itrc.hp.com patches
hp-ux patches
Search for NFS patches.

Build yourself a nice depot and get the ones that are relavent to your system and install those.

If you are going to be a heavy NFS user you are going to need to stay current on NFS patches.

I can??t use the graphics interface and I couldn't install netscape...because this problem deny the access.
