Unable to open - Error = 'RPC server is not listening'

[Jagadesh_2]

When users try to access the oracle environment via citrix they are getting an error "Unable to open - Error = 'RPC server is not listening'".
When i checked for the rpc process it is not running. I started rpcbind using /usr/sbin/rpcbind. Then i stop & started the nfs client and server process.
Please find the rpc process below.

#ps -eaf|grep rpc

root 9923 1 0 16:17:09 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd

Please find the rpcinfo output too.

Still the users are getting the Error = 'RPC server is not listening'. Let me know how to rectify this.

since the server appears to be running:

ps -ef | grep nfsd

See if the nfs daemon is running.

Then see if there is network connectivity between the server and the clients. That common cause would cause your symptom.

nfs process is running
# ps -eaf|grep nfs
root 11159 11153 0 17:58:19 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/nfsd 4
root 11174 16737 1 17:58:54 pts/0 0:00 grep nfs
root 11160 11153 0 17:58:19 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/nfsd 4
root 11153 1 0 17:58:19 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/nfsd 4
root 11158 11153 0 17:58:19 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/nfsd 4

still we are facing the problem

[Steven E. Protter]

My second suggestion is more likely the issue.

Network check:

ping test

if not, traceroute, spot the failure.

It seems a NIC on the server may be misconfigured, unplugged or otherwise failed.

In dmesg iam getting an error
vxfs: mesg 001: vx_nospace - /dev/vg02/ora_u04 file system full (1 block extent)

vxfs: mesg 001: vx_nospace - /dev/vg02/ora_u04 file system full (1 block extent)

vxfs: mesg 001: vx_nospace - /dev/vg02/ora_u04 file system full (1 block extent)

Is it related to this?

[Vincente Fernandes]

Maybe related to the Oracle filesysem full. Are the timestamp for filesystem full recent one's? Free up some space in full system.

[Florian Heigl (new acc)]

maybe also check the connecting hosts using rpcinfo -p
