NFS.server error on HPUX v3

[kabrun]

Hi there experts,

I have a new-installed rx6600 with HPUX v3,
and on first boot there is an error with the
S100nfs.server.

When you execute: /sbin/rc3.d/S100nfs.server start:

ERROR: rcp.statd not running. Run "/sbin/init.d/lockmgr start" to start
rpc.statd, exiting

Every time you execute: /usr/sbin/rpc.statd:

/var/nfs/rpc.statd.log:
statd: unable to create (SM_PROG, SM_VERS) for netpath

Find below, the messages in syslog.log:

And there's more!

there is another message in the /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log:

Telnetd: I_LINK_DEV ioctl failed: Invalid argument

And, in the /etc/inetd.conf the entry is:

telnet stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/telnetd telnetd

The thing is that I can't use telnet either!
(although FTP and XDMCP are available).

Any suggestion would be appreciated...

Thanx in advance and best regards!

Mario.

Hi Mario,

Can you tell me the contents of you /etc/nsswitch.conf file? I'm wondering which back-end databases you're using for things like rpc, services, networks, etc. Some of these messages make me lean towards a resolution problem of some kind.

Regards,

Dave

Hi there,
In fact, there's no nsswitch.conf file.
Although there are some forms like:
nsswitch.compat, nsswitch.files, nsswitch.hp_defaults, nsswitch.nis, nsswitch.ldap

I just copied the nsswitch.hp_defaults file as nsswitch.conf and rebooted, but got same errors....

Hi Mario,

I think this is a known problem that was supposed to be fixed prior to 11i v3 shipping but it may have reappeared somehow. It may be a corrupted /stand/ioconfig file.

Try this:

# /sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop
# /sbin/init.d/autofs stop
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop
# /sbin/init.d/lockmgr stop
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.core stop

Then rebuild your /stand/ioconfig file by issuing the command:

# insf -e

Then see if you can get all the RPC daemons to start normally:

# /sbin/init.d/nfs.core start
# /sbin/init.d/lockmgr start
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.client start
# /sbin/init.d/autofs start
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

Let me know if this works.

Regards,

Dave
