NOTE: HP-UX 11.0 9905 is REQUIRED to support NFS over TCP/IP. Make sure it is installed BEFORE you install PHNE_20344 and PHNE_20371.

*********************

ENABLING NFS TO RUN OVER TCP/IP

Install patch PHNE_20344 and PHNE_20371 (and all their dependencies). (these patches may have been superceded, check for the latest)

NOTE: Make sure you have HP-UX 11.0 9905 installed BEFORE installing these patches.

Reboot the machine after installing the patch, as instructed by installation instructions and system prompts.
Type the following command to enable TCP: /usr/sbin/setoncenv NFS_TCP 1
Stop, then restart the NFS service on the client and server by typing the following:
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop

/sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop

/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start

The /usr/sbin/setoncenv command sets the variable NFS_TCP, located in the file /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf, to 1. After you enable TCP, it becomes the default transport protocol. Each time you issue the mount command, it attempts a TCP connection with the server. If TCP is not available on the server, then it attempts a UDP connection.



Changes You Will See
After you have installed the latest GR patches and enabled NFS to run over TCP, you may notice changes to your configuration. Here's a list of what you will find:

A new command: "setoncenv"
An enhanced nfsstat command
An enhanced nfsd and mount command
A TCP entry for port 2049 in /etc/services
A new version of automountd
A revised /sbin/init.d/nfs.core file
New versions of the following man pages: nfsd, mount_nfs, nfsstat
A new man page for setoncenv

How do you determine if you have 11.0 - 9905?

I do not see this in swlist.

Hi there,

It is the original CD that shipped with the system when purchased, dated May 1999 (inc. Ext. pack 9905).

So if I have
XSWGR1100 B.11.00.47.08 General Release Patches, November 1999 (ACE)

Should I be OK?

Getting back to the original question...

doesn't NFS run over TCP by default?

Alan: No :)
