Reboot Server Hanging at NFS server

Gd Day Forum,

I just rebooted my server running HP-UX 11.11 and currently on the console, it is showing the error message:

NFS server (pid674@/net) not responding still trying
NFS server (pid674@/net) not responding still trying
.......

Seeking advise on it.

Thanks n Happy New Year to Forum!

Hi cliff,

Check for any NFS static mounts in /etc/fstab and remove them.

Hi Forum,

The server is a remote server. Currently, how am I able to break away from the error messages?

Thanks/cliff

To resolve the problem:

1. Interrupt the boot sequence with CTRL SHIFT | (pipe),
or reboot into single-user mode.

2. Modify the /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file:

A. Change NFS_CLIENT=0 from NFS_CLIENT=1.

B. Chnage NFS_SERVER=1 to NFS_SERVER=0.

3. Continue the reboot, or reboot the system.

It is often the case, that the system either is not using NFS at all,
or the NFS Servers listed in /etc/fstab are down, or not responding.
If the system is not intended to use NFS, then these steps should
resolve the issue.

I realized that /etc/hosts was having the wrong ip address assigned compare to /etc/rc.config.d/netconf. I changed the /etc/hosts to the correct IP address and is rebooting the server.

Thanks/cliff

Hi Forum,

The root cause was due to invalid ip addr in the /etc/hosts file.

Thanks for support/cliff
