Log Message NFS Server (Workstation) xxx not responding...

[plarrondo]

I have a general question in regards to nfs sharing ot the /export/home directory on a workstation. I am taking a workstation off line which is Solaris 8. I received the message that NFS server xxxx (which is the workstation) is not repsonding. How do I get rid of that message if the workstation is no longer sharing the home directory? Is there a file I have to edit like /etc/dfs/dfstab?

Thanks in advance,

PEL

I am getting the NFS not reponding on the actual network file server that the workstation connects to. When I took down the workstation I got the /var/adm/message at the server? Any suggestions to keep this message from repeating in the logs.

If I'm understanding your question correctly the server is giving errors now because you took the workstation offline. You're most likely mounting a share off of the workstation onto the server.

While logged into the server as root run the following command:

# mount | grep workstationname

In place of work station name you would want to put the actual name though. From here you should see which directory is being mounted locally. You can use the umount command to take it offline. For example:

# umount /export/bob

To make it doesn't get re-mounted at boot time you can edit /etc/vfstab. Just verify that there are no references to your workstation located here. If there are you'll want to remove them completely or comment them out.
