portmap already started, using pid: 488
Reading in /etc/exports
starting up the mount daemon

Hi
How much memory have you installed ?

[prasathc]

64 MB RAM i am using.

You have a problem with the amount of lockable memory:

Take a look at this thread:

Hi
I dont know which version of HP-UX you use but 64MB is not much, if possible, try to add some memory.

hi

indeed this is a memory issue , apart from loking if your memory is notr completely used up it is recommended that you try tuning the kernel parameters for nproc or unlockable_mem to see if it can alleviate this problem.

At last we got it. After tunning the kernel paramets. Now it's working fine.

Thanks to all for immediate replay.
