NFS Issues Igniting 11.11 from HP-UX 11.31 Ignite Server

[Alzhy]

I am sure my /etc/dfs/dfstab is correct. NFS services are up but my client is simply unable to mount the clients directory:

add net default: gateway x.x.x.3
* Reading configuration information from server...

* NFS mounting clients directory.
NFS server y.y.y.60 not responding still trying
NFS server y.y.y.60 not responding still trying
NFS server y.y.y.60 not responding still trying


Any suggestions what to check? We're pretty new with 11.31.


Thanks!

I'm clearly not the expert here.. so just thowing out a fishing Line of help..

so, x.x.x.3 and y.y.y.60

do you need to add a static route entry on the client to route back to your ignite server? Or, do you need to add a static route to enable the server to route to the client and back ?

on ignite server:
netstat -rn

ping y.y.y.60
traceroute y.y.y.60

so, it is not a Routing issue, it is an NFS issue ? exportfs -av ? update /etc/exports ? Is the client side able to get to you ignite server ?
maybe .rhosts ??

just some Casting my Line here, I'm not the expert..

Just a maybe: maybe your 11.31 server is setup to export NFS 4 and your 11.11 stuff is using NFS 3 ?

'/etc/dfs/dfstab' sounds like NFS 4 setup.

Not sure when / if 11.11 has NFS 4 support...

Issue's fixed..

I compared the syntax on my Solaris machines and indeed it was a /etc/dfs/dfstab issue.

So one thing to watch out for on 11.31 Guyz -- no more /etc/exports...

Just needed to add root=ip.ip.ip.ip of my Ignite CLient as merely rw=ip.ip.ip.ip did not work...
