nfs issue

[saucyboy]

Hi

I am trying to mount a NFS mount from server A to B

on server A a FS is already exported to another sever /DBA
exportfs shows :
/DBA -public,sec=sys:krb5p:krb5i:krb5:dh:none,rw

on server B i do a
mount <server name>:/DBA /DBA(local mount point)

i get error:
mount: 1831-008 giving up on:
<servername>:/DBA
System call error number -1.


I check hostsfile and ips for on each server and ips exist.
nfs daemons are running
portmap is running

i can ssh from server b to server a

i restarted daemons on both...

no idea

oslevel is 5.3 on both

Perhaps the server B (NFS client) is multi-homed and on server A (NFS server) you need to export the FS to all possible IP addresses for server B?

Also, make sure you export it to the same name the host resolution returns (hostname with or without domain name?) I'd export to both possible hostnames (short and long) if your servers are configured for DNS host name resolution.


HTH,
