All clients can’t import
from a given server
Do the following on the server:
• Check that the server is up and running, and that the LAN
connection between the server and clients is live (can you
“ping” the clients from the server and vice versa?)
Check that rpc.mountd is running:
ps -ef | grep rpc.mountd
If rpc.mountd is not running (symptom RPC-PROG NOT
REGISTERED), run it:
/usr/sbin/rpc.mountd
• Check that nfsd is running:
ps -ef | grep nfsd
If nfsd is not running, run it:
/usr/sbin/nfsd
• Check that /etc/rc.config.d/nfsconf has NFS_SERVER=1
and START_MOUNTD=1, or check in SAM that “NFS Server” is
enabled (see “Using SAM to Export a File System” on
page 395).
• Check that the file systems that the clients are trying to
mount are listed in /etc/exports. Check /etc/exports
directly or check in SAM (see “Using SAM to Export a File
System” on page 395).
