nfs files transfers

[navin]

Hello ,
I have a hpux 11.23 on a rp3440 server. Trying to run a script which transfers some of the files from nfs server. The performance is extremely slow. I have done the initial troubleshooting .
Please advice if you had this kind of prob before.
Thanks

Ask yourself, could you help anyone with the limited amount of data that you have supplied?

For example, what is the ftp performance like transferring a large file (10 MiB or so) in both directions? We know one box is 11.23, what about the other end? Are you running NFS over tcp or udp? What is your actual observed transfer rate? What kind of network? Have you checked for NFS/network patches? What are your mount options?

Now we are getting somewhere. You don't actually have an NFS problem because your FTP transfer rate is terrible as well. This means your problem is wider in scope and is, in fact, a network problem. My psychic, Miss Cleo, tells me if you will set the GigE connections at auto-negotiate at both ends (hosts and switches) and make sure that your cables are GigE rated then all will be well.

Autoneg on both sides fixed the issue.
Thanks Steve.
