NFS mount issue.

[bazigardu]

Hi all

Due to space constraint we are not able to install catia. So the other option is mount /catia from other HPUX machine(its j6000 11.11). While mounting the same it throws an error pertaining to NFS demon not able to start. Please look into it and let me know your suggestion. I am able to mount the NIS and data directory from other servers. But client to client mounting is not happening.

Please check the screen grab attached

Hi Suman,

Check the file /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf, NFS_CLIENT and NFS_SERVER should be enabled.

# /sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

# /sbin/init.d/nfs.core stop
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.core start

And try mounting the nfs filesystem again.

Shalom Suman,

The error screen indicates probably one of the following conclusions:

1) NFS server not configured properly, /etc/exports is wrong for example. OR NFS server is not running on the server.
2) Network configuration or firewall is blocking NFS access. Thats actually becoming more common.

hi Suman,

Assuming that all the configuration were done properly, can you check if you have the latest patches installed?

PHCO_33205
PHNE_32477

hi suman,

We need more information concerning the problem.


1. Can you mount the same share on another machine?

2. has something similar worked previously?

3. what is the output of the following command:
ps -ef|grep nfs

4. Can you post the corresponding entries from the source (/etc/exports) and destination (/etc/fstab)

revert

hi Yogee

1) I have tried mounting the same share on another machine. Its not working .same error is showing.
(one year back) the same system worked with exports display. But I donâ t know who has done the mounting work at that time.

2)

Output for ps â ef | grep nfs is given below

hi Suman,

can you confirm if you performed the commands below on the SOURCE machine?

# /sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

# /sbin/init.d/nfs.core stop
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.core start

revert

kind regards

Hi yogee
I have checked that also but starting and stoping nfs server and client,actually here both machine are clients but the server is not a hp machine.Both the servers are acting as a client.kindly give some solid solutions.

hi suman,

the problem is definitely located on the side where the SHARE is located. Unless, we can prove that the SHARE has been properly defined (exported), we cannot proceed further with the troubleshooting...
