NFS Remote System Failure

[Scott Frye_1]

The more I research my problem, it appears I get this message approximately every two minutes. I've looked in my cron jobs and haven't found a resloution there. I'm wondering two things...

1). Are there any other logs I could research to see what might be running every two minutes? (other than syslog and event.log)

2). Does ISEE have a specific run time and how can I see that?

Thanks

Scott

Hi Frye,

But what is the problem being experienced? Is the problem NFS related?

[Scott Frye_1]

Actually, I'm not experiencing a problem. This all started after we installed PAM-Kerberos and CIFS client on our HP-UX 11.0 box. We have a NFS share to another server as well as mounting a CIFS share. Both shares work fine, we just keep getting messages in our syslog. The messages are...

Dec 17 07:38:31 h0306n1 vmunix: NFS fsstat failed for server CRH0000047106: RPC: Remote system error
Dec 17 07:40:31 h0306n1 vmunix: NFS fsstat failed for server CRH0000047106: RPC: Remote system error

Well, do you have a server in your domain called "CRHXXXX..."? It looks like somebody is trying to contact it.

check your CIFS config files for references to CRHXXX.....

[Scott Frye_1]

Yes I do, that is the W2K box that we are mounting a share from.

/etc/fstab
crh0000047106:/MIE$ /imaging cifs defaults 0 0

And as I mentioned, this share works fine for those who are authenticated to it.

Hi Scott,

try to run nfststat -s on HP-UX and look what is going there

rgds Jan

[Scott Frye_1]

(h0306n1)root# nfstat -s
sh: nfstat: not found.

[Jan Sladky]

Hi Scott,
nfsstat -s, I'm sorry

rgds Jan

To preserve the format, I am attaching the results of the nfsstat-s command.

[Scott Frye_1]

Well, HP got involved... We went into the cifsclient.cfg file and uncommented nfsTrace, cifsTrace and smbSequence. I sent Sandra the log files. Looking at the log files, we saw a specific UID that seemed to be causing the problem. We investigated the UID and found it belonged to BMC Patrol. We authenticated the patrol account and as of now, we have been message from for 30 minutes! BTW, this message was occuring every 2 minutes.
