nfs export on hp-ux 11.31 (itanium)

[Jean-Marc Beaudoin_1]

Good day,

I have been working on this problem since yesterday...

server 1 is HP-UX 11.31 (itanium)
server 2 is HP-UX 11.11 (9000/800)

export from 11.11 to 11.31 goes fine

export from 11.31 to 11.11 simply does not work.

get

root@hsapt7 [/root]# bdf /homologation
Filesystem kbytes used avail %used Mounted on
auto_direct 0 0 0 0% /homologation

ipfilter is disabled on 11.31

/etc/exports on 11.31 is
/homologation -access=hsapt7,root=hsapt7

/etc/auto_direct on 11.11 is
/homologation -soft,nosuid,proto=udp hsapt9:/homologation

/homologation filesystem has been created as version 4 (to match 11.11). fsadm -F vxfs -o largefiles,bsize=8192,version=4 ...

Is there anything I am missing ?

Yhanks.

Which are the NFS versions (both sides).
11iv4 has the NFS version 4, make sure that you are running same versions in both sides to avoid errors, that could be the error.

Try mounting the file system on command line, it will narrow your problem.
server2# mount server1:/homologation /test

If you are able to mount it then look for the automounter side. See if nfs client is running or restart it. Submit what error you are getting.

Hi Jean,

I have attached a text file, that I refer to check the NFS issues. Hope it helps.

Couple of points:

1) 11.31 uses the /etc/dfs/dfstab file instead of the /etc/exports file

2) 11.31 requires you to fully qualify the hostnames in your shared filesystems in the dfstab file.

3) As suggested earlier - before you start trying to debug an AutoFS problem, make sure you can successfully manually mount a filesystem. Can your 11.11 system manually mount the shared 11.31 filesystem - after you've fully qualified the entry and moved it to the /etc/dfs/dfstab file and issued the "shareall" command?

4) The NFS v4 stuff is a red herring. NFS will always try to negotiate to the highest commonlly supported version of NFS on both client and server, so even if your 11.31 system supports NFSv4 it can still support NFS v2/v3 unless you've specifically configured it not to.
