TCP support in NFSD (HPUX 11.0)

[Vikram Shankar]

Hi,
How can I find if the nfsd on my HPUX system supports TPC protocol, and if the nfsd doesn't support TCP protocol, what patch should i download to make it work.
Thanks.

Hi,

Check this doc,

When would I want to use NFS over TCP, and how would I do this?

You have to explicitly enable tcp protocal with NFS. Refer,

Hi,

From a UNIX system:

rpcinfo -p hpux-servername | grep -i nfs will tell you if the NFS service is registered on TCP and UDP:

nbox# rpcinfo -p vbox | grep -i nfs
100003 2 udp 2049 nfs
100003 3 udp 2049 nfs
100003 2 tcp 2049 nfs
100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs

rpcinfo -t hpux-servername nfs
will actually "ping" the RPC procedure 0 of the NFS Server "nfsd" to see if it responds:

nbox# rpcinfo -t vbox nfs
program 100003 version 2 ready and waiting
program 100003 version 3 ready and waiting

Hope that helps,
