NFS mount Problem??

[rveri]

Hi All ,

I am trying to mount an nfs filesystem (/oracle/data) from servernfs to nfsclient at /oracle/data1. But getting this error :

# mount servernfs:/oracle/data /oracle/data1
nfs mount: get_fh: servernfs:: RPC: Program not registered
nfs mount: get_fh: servernfs:: RPC: Program not registered
nfs mount: retry: retrying(1) for: /oracle/data1 after 5 seconds
nfs mount: retry: giving up on: /oracle/data1

both are hp-ux 11.11


The follwoing things I have done :

On servernfs:

1) nfs.server is running.
2) /etc/exports entry made.
3) exportfs -a -v
shows Sucessfully exported.

on client:
1) nfs.client , rpcbind is running.

I appricate if any one can help me in this issue.

Thanks,

Rveri.

On client,

/sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start

On server,

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

Just for grins, you may want to stop/start nfs.core

This problem is caused usually by a loss of connectivity or the server side being booted.

Soft versus hard connection/mount is said to prevent this problem.

Another possible cause. Congestion on the collision domain. Too many nodes on the network. If this is a problem, a seperate subnet for NFS connections can help.

Thanks RAC and Steven ,and whoever replied.

Now I solved the problem. The filesystem got mounted after a lots of try.

Does anyone noticed the hostname i was using for mounting. its 9 Character.

I think it accepts 8 char hostname only.

#mount servernf:/oracle/data /oracle/data1

worked fine.

Thanks to all,


R.Veri.
