nfs server

[dhanish]

i am not able to start the nfs server daemon on my system .I tried starting using nfs.core start but it does not work.but when i start the nfs.server script mannually it says that all the rpc services gets started.plus in the syslog.log i am getting the error
Cannot establish NFS service over udp: bind problem.
my nfsconf entries are also enabled for nfs client and server.I believe the nfs.core script is enough to start both the processes server and client for nfs.Pls let me know what else i can do.

try doing it through SAM.
Filesystems - Network file systems.

SAM will complain more if there is a problem!

Later,

Issue the following command to check your server's memory utilization:
netstat -m
If the number of requests for memory denied is high, your server does not have enough memory. Consider adding more memory or using a different host as the NFS server.
Issue the ps -ef command on the NFS server, and check for many instances of the same application. Sometimes an application clones itself indefinitely until it uses up all the available inodes on a system.
The default maximum number of inodes shipped with HP-UX tends to be too small for sites that make extensive use of NFS. Follow this procedure to increase the maximum number of inodes on your NFS server:


Log in as root to the NFS server.

Type /usr/sbin/sam to start SAM (System Administration Manager).

Open Kernel Configuration.

Open Configurable Parameters.

Highlight the line that begins with ninode, and choose Modify Configurable Parameter from the Actions menu.

Increase the value in the Formula/Value field, either by changing the constant multiplier in the formula or replacing the formula with a value. If your ninode value is currently set to the default (606), try changing it to 2048.

Use SAM to regenerate the kernel and reboot the system.
