rpc.mount problems on 4.3.3

[L]

I cannot get the rpc.mountd to stay up it will start but then immediately
dies. Everything else for nfs comes up fine except rpc.mountd, when I tyr
to do a showmount command I get:
RPC: 1832-019 Program not registered
I can't find specific info on this error. Can someone please help me...

Try this:

1. uncomment portmap in /etc/rc.tcpip
2. make sure rc.nfs is not commented out in /etc/inittab
3. # stopsrc -g nfs
4. # startsrc -s portmap
5. # /etc/rc.nfs

That should take care of it for that boot and for subsequent boots, so only
needs to be done that way once.

Thanks for your quick response Dan. I tried what you said but it still is
not working.

You did not indicate you maintenance level, and there was a bug at the earlier levels.
If you are at an early maintenance level, do you have any alias IP's?
If so, set up your scripts to add the alias IP's after nfs is started.

Ok. Can you post the output of:

# ps -ef|egrep "rpc|portmap|nfsd|mountd"|grep -v egrep
# lssrc -s portmap
# grep portmap /etc/rc.tcpip|grep start|grep -v background
# lslpp -l bos.net.tcp.client
# rpcinfo -p

I called IBM it was an issue with the maintenance level of nfs they are
shipping out the APAR I need to fix it.
Thanks,

Side note: if you do something like

ps -ef | egrep "[r]pc|portmap|nfsd|mountd"

you don't need the "grep -v". (The command line contains the literal
characters [ and ], while the resulting expressing doesn't match those
characters.)

I've seen such behavior when the file /etc/netsvc.conf was missing.
If you use DNS, make sure that file has the following line:

hosts=local,bind4

and the first non-commented out line in /etc/hosts is:

127.0.0.1 loopback localhost
