rpc.mountd reporting that its inoperative (AIX 4.3.3) 1

[Aslamg]

Hi All

I am trying to understand and overcome why rpc.mountd is not working.

My system is AIX 4.3.3, and

# lssrc -g nfs
Subsystem Group PID Status
biod nfs 9034 active
nfsd nfs 8602 active
rpc.statd nfs 9370 active
rpc.lockd nfs 9600 active
rpc.mountd nfs inoperative

Looking at errpt I am getting the following :

SYMPTOM CODE
0
SOFTWARE ERROR CODE
-9015
ERROR CODE
4
DETECTING MODULE
'srchevn.c'@line:'268'
FAILING MODULE
rpc.mountd

I was wondering if anyone knows how to overcome this problem ?

Any help much appreciated.

Does the daemon stop immediately after starting or after some time?
Is your root filesystem full? Maybe something bad in your /etc/exports file causing the daemon to poop out?

Hi

The deameon stops immediately, after starting.

My root system has about 300Mb free at the moment.

I have recreated the /etc/exports file, but I still get the problem.

HI,

Please post the output of:

1.df
2.entstat -drt ent0 |grep –i error
(assumint ent0 is your default interface)
3.cat /etc/hosts
4.errpt |head -20


Also,I would try removing and redefining the entx interface.

Thanks,

1.try redefining your entx (rmdev,cfgmgr,etc)
2.Please post the screen output of the following:

stopsrc -g ngs

Thanks

[Aslamg]

Hi

I will try and redefine the network card.

The data as requested :

# stopsrc -g ngs
0513-086 The ngs Group is not on file.

# stopsrc -g nfs
0513-044 The biod Subsystem was requested to stop.
0513-044 The nfsd Subsystem was requested to stop.
0513-044 The rpc.statd Subsystem was requested to stop.
0513-044 The rpc.lockd Subsystem was requested to stop.

# startsrc -g nfs
0513-059 The biod Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 9372.
0513-059 The nfsd Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 9602.
0513-059 The rpc.statd Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 11952.
0513-059 The rpc.lockd Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 9036.
0513-059 The rpc.mountd Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 20680.

# lssrc -g nfs

[lillracksingen]

Sometimes when the NFS daemons are having trouble then you can get clues to what the problem is by trying to start them (as root) from the command-line:
# /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd
Try this. It may spit out an error message as to why it refuses to stay alive.

 

[Aslamg]

Hi tried it bt dotn understand what I need to do

# /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd
exec(): 0509-036 Cannot load program /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd because of the followi
ng errors:
0509-130 Symbol resolution failed for rpc.mountd because:
0509-136 Symbol __which_res_state (number 66) is not exported from
dependent module /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o).
0509-192 Examine .loader section symbols with the
'dump -Tv' command.

 

[lillracksingen]

Does lppchk -v give any output?

 

[Aslamg]

Yup

# lppchk -v
lppchk: The following filesets need to be installed or corrected to bring
the system to a consistent state:

bos.adt.prof 4.3.3.10 (not installed; requisite fileset)
bos.mp 4.3.3.10 (not installed; requisite fileset)
bos.mp 4.3.3.13 (not installed; requisite fileset)
bos.mp 4.3.3.12 (not installed; requisite fileset)
devices.scsi.ses.diag 4.3.3.10 (not installed; requisite fileset)
devices.ssa.disk.rte 4.3.3.10 (not installed; requisite fileset)

 

[lillracksingen]

I would first fix the inconsistensies on the bos.mp fileset to see if it solves the problem.
