RPC: Program not registered

[Mark Spykerman_2]

When issuing the command, "/usr/bin/rup hostname" I get the error "RPC: Program not registered".

ps -ef |grep mount shows that /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd is running.

NFS is also running and seems to be working correctly with dozens of clients connected and accessing served data fine.

Any thoughts or ideas on what might be wrong? Thanks.

cd /sbin/init.d
./nfs.server stop
./nfs.server start

-USA..

Hi,

Try
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.core stop
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.core start
# /sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

Hi,
rup is based on rpc.statd deamon on the target host, and since 10.20 it is not started anymore by default, if you want it, you must uncomment the line in /etc/inetd.conf for rpc.statd, and then restart inetd by "inetd -c". Now, rup should be working for your target host.
Cheers.

Sorry, a little typo, you should read: rpc.rstatd

Cheers.

Once you stop and start rpc, you can verify all the necesary processes with this:

UNIX95= ps -efH|head -1; UNIX95= ps -efH|egrep "inetd|rpc|mount|nfs"|grep -v grep; rpcinfo -p|egrep "service|nfs"; showmount -e; mount -p


The output should look similar to this:

plus a listing of whatever you have exported via NFS.

Thanks for your many responses.

The computer I am having problems with is a production box with many NFS connections, I don't think restart nfs was successful because nfs was in use when I tried to stop and restart it. With that in mind, I have tried the following:

1. Restart nfs.server
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

2. Restart the nfs.core and nfs.server services
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server stop
/sbin/init.d/nfs.core stop
/sbin/init.d/nfs.core start
/sbin/init.d/nfs.server start

3. Checked /etc/inetd.conf
rpc.rstatd is uncommented. This box is running 11.00 and haven't had this problem previously.

4. The output for the commands UNIX95= ps -efH|head -1; UNIX95= ps -efH|egrep "inetd|rpc|mount|nfs"|grep -v grep; rpcinfo -p|egrep "service|nfs"; showmount -e; mount -p are attached as log.txt

I am going to run an at job tonight to restart all the nfs services when there aren't any nfs client connected. Hopefully this will fix the problem.

Thanks for all your suggestions, I will let you know if the at job was successful tomorrow.
