cannot get NFS

[johny2K]

hi experts,

just thinking how to by-pass or any walk-around to fix below error during bootup:

Cannot get NFS port from portmap server at <server_name> : RPC : Port mapper failure - RPC : Timed out

problem fixed:

try to check the following:

1. check network connection/adapter/rj45/fibreoptics, etc
2. check export/mount files
3. check hostname/ip address/default gateway
4. by-pass error

Hmmm.... not enough info to really understand problem, so this may be a stab in the dark...

I ran into a similar problem a while back. Turns out NFS was not properly configured. After entering the below commands, I was able to get NFS to work.

On the server side, enter these commands (as root):
rcmgr -c set NFSSERVING 1
rcmgr -c set NFSLOCKING 1
rcmgr -c set NFS_CONFIGURED 1

client (if a Tru64 client):
rcmgr -c set NFSLOCKING 1
rcmgr -c set NFS_NFSIOD 7
rcmgr -c set NFS_CONFIGURED 1

Then do your normal NFS exports. The NFS mount should then work.
