nfs server disabled at reboot

[reis]

Hi folks,
I want to export a filesystem on HPUX 11.00 and I have the problem, that the nfs server is disabled after reboot. If I restart the nfs server with sam, the nfs server is disabled again after a couple of days. In /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf there is NFS_SERVER=1
Do I need a patch for this ?

Kind regards
Walter

Try looking in the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
file for error messages from nfs. Also dmesg could give some insight on the problem.
A daemon failing after a couple of days (and the nfs serverprocesses are daemons) are normally logged in those files.

A patch could solve your problems, but to make sure you do you need to give us some info on the patchlevel of your system first.

In the attachment there is a copy of swlist and OLDsyslog.log.
I hope, this helps.

Kind regards

You syslog shows that you are using automount and when it starts it has an error;

cant talk to host: host in-hp007 not responding

Is this host pingable ? if not it shouldnt be referenced, remove it. This is probably what keeps stopping nfs.

Hi,

First i want to know something from u,

r u using the automountd service

i had seen ur syslog file

there is rpc.userd service is dieing while booting

For that u do one thing

edit the /etc/inetd.conf file

there is entry for rpc.userd
If it is disable then pls make it enable
i hope before u reboot the system NFS_SERVER would be 1

now u try

Thanx

Hi,
rpc.rusersd is enabled and NFS_SERVER=1, but after a reboot the nfs server is still disabled. If I start the nfs server with sam, nfs server daemon dies after some days.
I replaced the automounter now with nfs mount. Nfs server don´t start anyway.
