nfs server not responding

[Achilles_2]

I have strange problem which I have encountered while mounting a cdrom(CD)
of rrip format using pfs_mount. I can mount the CD using pfs_mount command and
while I start installing software from the CD, the installation scripts hangs
prompting "NFS server XXXX not responding still trying". I have confirmed that I
have installed PHCO_16438 patch been installed to fix bug with pfs_mount. Here
are details which I have followed,

1. Added an entry in /etc/pfs_fstab as
/dev/dsk/c1t2d0 /SD_CDROM pfs-rrip xlat=unix 10

2. Run the following command to mount the CD,
a. nohup /usr/sbin/pfs_mountd &
b. nohup /usr/sbin/pfsd &
c. /usr/sbin/pfs_mount /SD_CDROM.

You are sure you dont have any NFS mounts defined in /etc/fstab which are not active and valid?

Is the server using nfs??
Is it acting as a client to a nfs server i.e mounting nfs file systems.

If not try doing a

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

Then try doing a pfs_mount

The problem is the NFS component of pfs_mount

I stopped using it and went with Patrick Wallek's more modern setup.

Here is the command:



/usr/sbin/mount -F cdfs -e -o ro,rr /dev/dsk/c3t2d0 /cdrom

you can also eliminate pfs_mounts with some patches
