setting up HPUX 11i to use udp only for nfs

[Theresa Patrie]

Hi All,
Is this as simple as removing the nfsd/tcp entry in the /etc/services file?? I have a Netapps server that cannot accept nfs mounts from clients using autofs over tcp. So, if I remove the nfsd/tcp entry from the services file, will tcp be disabled?
Thanks,
Theresa

Hello,

If you look at the services file, you see that there are two entries, the same port number, but different protocol (udp vs. tcp)

Comment out the tcp one and uncomment the udp line.

This should work for you.

Hope this helps

Hi Theresa,

Yes that's one step.
Another is to check your /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf file & insure that if NFS_TCP variable is present it's =0. If it's set to 1 then it will attempt to use TCP.
Note: This is set if someone has run
/sbin/setoncenv NFS_TCP 1
in the past to enable TCP transport - or just edited the nfsconf file.

NFS, by default, is connectionless (UDP) unless instructed otherwise.

Rgds,
Jeff

Thanks for the quick responses guys. I was hoping it was that simple.
