RPC enable

[mehul_3]

Hi there,
I am newbie in HP-UX.As per my knowledge, by default RPC is disabled.
Could u please someone send me a procedure to make it enable. Can I do this as my own?
How do we can check whether it is enabled or not?

Thanks & Regards
Mehul

Hello Mehul,
You may use the command rpcinfo to check whether rpc services are running. Most of the rpc services are started at boot time and additional services can be started by uncommenting the particular services through the inted services.

Hope this solves your querry.

Thanks & Regards

Hi ,

If you want ot enable your RPC go to
/etc/rc.config.d
and edit file :Rpcd
look for :START_RPCD=0 and change it to
START_RPCD=1

check RPCD:
#ps -ef |grep rpcd
#rpcinfo

Good luck!

I have got the following result of running following command but I could not able to understand whether it is running or not?

ps -ef|grep rpcd
root 1044 1 0 Nov 8 ? 0:30 /opt/dce/sbin/rpcd
root 5241 5219 0 15:07:28 pts/tb 0:00 grep rpcd

and rpcinfo gives following output:

Once again what does this indicates whether it is running or not?

There are at least two kinds of RPC (Remote Procedure Call) protocols on HP-UX.

One is "SunRPC", which is used by NFS and other "unix-like" services.
To use SunRPC, you must have at least /usr/sbin/rpcbind running (it might be named "portmap" in some other unixes). "rpcinfo -p" reports the services available on SunRPC system.

The other RPC system is DCE RPC, which is used by HP OpenView products. To use DCE RPC, /opt/dce/sbin/rpcd must be running. To ensure that rpcd is working, you could use a command "rpccp show mapping".
