SLES 11 SP1 NFS Issue

[Craig Johnson_1]

Ok, I've had nothing but problems with NFS on SLES 11 no matter what SP# I use.

I recently upgraded from SP0 to SP1 after EMC finally released a version of PowerPath for SP1 (which unfortunately doesn't work). Anyway, I was able to migrate an NFS resource using HAE to the SP1 server, but no client could mount the NFS share. It kept saying "RPC: Program not registered".

So, I noticed that on the NFS server, that rpc.mountd is running, but it isn't registered in the rpc database.

$ rpcinfo -p 10.20.210.81

Any ideas how this could happen?
