When mounting NT file system on HP-UX i am getting RPC timeout erors.

[pap]

Hi I am trying to mount NT file system on HP-UX and I am getting following errors.

get_fh: ntras:: RPC: Timed out
nfs mount: get_fh: ntras:: RPC: Timed out
nfs mount: get_fh: ntras:: RPC: Timed out
nfs mount: retry: retrying(1) for: /poets/uxstatus after 5 seconds
nfs mount: get_fh: ntras:: RPC: Timed out
nfs mount: retry: retrying(1) for: /poets/uxstatustest after 5 seconds
nfs mount: retry: giving up on: /poets/uxstatus
nfs mount: retry: giving up on: /poets/uxstatustest


** I am mounting filesystems uxstatus and uxstatustest from NT machine "ntras".

Whenver NT machine is rebooted, after that if I try to mount the filesystems it gives same types of error all the time.
I do not knpw hoe to deal with the problem.

pap,

IF there are any firewalls between the HP & NT systems - you have to ensure that port 2049 (TCP & UDP) is allowed to pass as well as 4045 (UDP) for the lock daemon/manager.
Also have to allow port 111 (TCP & UDP) to allow rpcbind to contact the NFS server which should return the earlier mentioned ports (unless setup non-standard).
I suspect port 111 is being blocked - that would cause rpcbind time-outs.

HTH,
Jeff

I have already NT file system mounting software running on it. SO no need ti install new software. One more thing, the system was mounting NT file systems successfully but after rebooting of NT server when I try to mount those NT file systems on HP-UX it gave those errors.

Please let me know what is the problem.

Also , anybody knows how to check rpc.mountd process whether running on NT machine?

Thanks,

[pap]

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for prompt response.
Can you let me know how to allow port 111 so that rpcbind will allow to access NFS server?

I do not have idea regarding it.
How can I check whether port 111 is blocked?

Please provide input and if possible, please let me know the commands to deal with the situation.

Thanks,
-Piyush.

pap.

Start -> Programs -> Administrative tools -> Services

Should be in there with a status - if not "started" then highlight it & start it.
It should be set to automatic to start @ boot.

HTH,
Jeff

[Jeff Schussele]

Hi pap,

If you had these mounted before then you are getting the traffic through.

I suspect that the service is not started - see earlier post.

You may also find it under
Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools -> Component Services.

pap,

To check if rpc.mountd is running on the NT server do:

ctrl-alt-delete & choose the task manager icon & then select the processes tab. Not sure what it would be called - but if it's running it should be there.

Hi,
I just rebooted the NT machine. I will give update as soon as the NT machine will come up.

Hi,
After NT server reboot, whn I am trying to mount those file systems on HP I am getting following errors.
Please let me know how to solve this problem.

Hi,
on one HP machine I am able to mount the NT file sytems sucessfully. I was keep trying to mount it and it did mounted.

Still problem in mounting NT file system on another HP server persists.
Any input?

[Jeff Schussele]

Piyush,

See my post on your other thread from today.

http://forums.itrc.hp.com/cm/QuestionAnswer/1,,0xd4d90bce6f33d6118fff0090279cd0f9,00.html

You want to ensure that the NFS client is running on this other HP.

HTH,
Jeff

[pap]

Here is the output of

#rpcinfo -u ntras mountd

program 100005 version 1 ready and waiting
rpcinfo: RPC: Program/version mismatch; low version = 1, high version = 3
program 100005 version 2 is not available
program 100005 version 3 ready and waiting

[Jeff Schussele]

Piyush,

if the server you are having trouble mounting the NT FS on is 10.20 then you have a problem.
HP-UX 10.20 is NFS version 2 & as you can see ver 2 is not available on the NT system.
If it's 11.x (actually 10.30 & higher) then we have a different problem as they use NFS ver 3 - which is available from the NT system.

Hi jeff,
I am using HP 11.0 Only.

Both HP machines are HP-UX 11.0 but on one I am able to mount NT file systems while on another not.
I am pissed of with this problem.

[Jeff Schussele]

Next thing I'd try is bounce the NFS client on the HP system.

Do (in order):

#/sbin/init.d/nfs.client stop
#/sbin/init.d/nfs.core stop

Then (in order):

#/sbin/init.d/nfs.core start
#/sbin/init.d/nfs.client start

Also verify that your /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf is setup the same on this system as the "good" system.

HTH,
Jeff

Hi ,

Thanks for your inputs especially Jeff's input and taking time to help me out.

I could not stop and start nfs because there are some other shared file systems are running and mounted on the machine.

Fortunately, I changed the parameters rsize and wsize , some of the things on NT machine and now everything is working fine.

Once again appreciated your help.


Thanks,
-Piyush.

Piyush,

Glad to hear you solved the problem & that I could be of help.

Seems like those *%$#!&%$ pesky Micro$oft systems are always a thorn in our side.

Rgds,
Jeff

[pap]

This ^!^%#%&&^##^#
microsoft stuff.....oh....no....

The problem was from NT side only ....

Thank go it got solved.
