pfs_mount

[Ahmed Ibrahim_3]

Gentlemtn;

We have HP9000 system V-class HP-UX 11.x hosting oracle application. When i
mount na oracle cd using pfs_mount to install new data base it give a message
that NFS server SERVER_NAME not responding still trying and we cant use the
system and we re-boot it.

Did any one face this problem.

Is the pfs_mountd deamon running on the server ? pfs_mount and pfs_mountd man
page have detail instruction for how to configure the PFS.

I have run the process before i mount the cd (pfs and pfsd) and i am gettin
error.

Hi ,
Have started pfsmoutd ?
pfsd
pfsmountd
nfsd


should be running .

First apply all the PFS* patches there a couple.
Start the NFS server/client i.e edit /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf and set both to
on and then do a start
i.e
NFS_SERVER=1
NFS_CLIENT=1
START_MOUNTD=1

/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start

Now follow the exact commands and order of them in the racle installation guide
(dont forget the nohup in it)

I get exactly the same problem with PFS on 11.0.
Funnily enough, on 10.20 I didn't have so much of a problem.

I have PHCO_14112 and _16438 installed.

Somebody on the forum mentioned the timeo option?

The PFS services are a third party product and have multiple patches available for them. I have had lots of problems with PFS services and there does not seem to be much that can be done. Do keep an eye on the system load as I have seen the load go sky high because the pfs services will not die and they cannot be killed. Reboot at this point is the only option I have found (Geez, I hate that!)

be sure to turn off name resolution before running pfs_mountd. I rename resolv.conf while installing Oracle and mv it back when done.

Start the NFS server/client i.e edit /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf and NFS_SERVER=1
NFS_CLIENT=1
START_MOUNTD=1

then run
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start
/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start

also check for following entry

PCNFS_SERVER=1
in /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file.
