NFS donnt start while booting

[Peter Roege]

the NFS donnt start up under the boot process
its a HP-UX 11.0
problem is that i cannt log into CDE.
I can see that NFS donnt startup so i thought that there could be a connection

Just check setting in

/etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf

I believe NFS_START shall be set equal to 1.

Check all relevant things here. It will resolve problem.

For now make them 1 and start from /sbin/init.d/nfs start.

Hope this helps.

NFS_SERVER=1

for client

NFS_CLIENT=1.

Thanks

Any inconsistencies in the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file will make NFS hang and/or fail at boot time.

NFS should not effect your ability to log on via cde unless the boot hangs.

ctrl-shift-\ on the console should get the boot process to move to the next step.

Useful errors should be in /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log and/or /etc/rc.log

hi

in the /etc/rc.config.d/netconf file
on two identicial workstation ( the one is fully working ) there is a differense in file

LANCONFIG_ARGS[0]=ETHER
ROUTEMASK[0]=""

This on the not working box ( CDE not starting )

In most cases CDE won't let you in, the machine has trouble with resolving it's own hostname. So first step would be:
- take the command line login
- what result gives "nslookup" on the hostname?
- edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/resolv.conf to get name resolving work

NFS, too, has trouble to start, when name resolving doesn't work properly. This is a further indication to this sort of problem.

Hope this helps.
