NFS Server not responding

[Volcano_1]

Workstation A can mount to workstation B, but receives "Server not responding" error when I try to view contents of the directory. Workstations C and D can mount workstation B and can successfully view contents. Workstation B can mount workstation A and view contents (so problem appears to be one-way).

Thanks in advance!

Hi Volcano,

You need to restart NFS server by,

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

# /sbin/init.d/nfs.core stop
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.core start

hi,

What is version of HPUX ?

If version is 11.23 and in cluster ?
nfs protocol by default is TCP, performance are better in UDP
for example , options set in in file nfs_xmt

mount -o rw,soft,bg,retry=10,proto=udp $I ${CNFS[$G]} &

The workstation is HP-UX 11.0. I have restarted NFS. It appears to only have problems with one workstation. It can mount other exported filesystems and view contents with no problems.

When you run

# nfsstat -s

What is the value of 'getattr'?

###############

Can you check you nic speed and duplex? Is it in agreement with your switch?

[Volcano_1]

The value of 'getattr' is 0. The nic is in full duplex. The switch is auto negotiate.

Thank you all for the help!

You've been advised to stop and start nfs.server on the server, but have you stopped and restarted nfs.client on the workstation?

Hello All. I have stopped/started nfs server and client services on both workstations. I had a spare workstation available so I swapped the problem workstation with the spare. I used the same hostname and IP address and even tried a new hostname and IP address just for giggles - same result....DOH!!!!
