how to enable NFS trace
 
We have RHEL 5.10. From DB server a partition is exported via NFS to 3 NFS client server (SAP)

Very often SAP application shows errors that NFS server not reachable or its hung.


But in NFS client/server, in messages logs, there is no such errors.


Not sure how SAP application alone reports the errors, but am not able to see them in NFS server or client side..


tcpdump o/p

In some forum, they say its related to network.

Is it possible to enable trace for NFS client partitions..

Since you don't tell us what the "SAP Application" is, what do you think we'll be able to tell you? If you're not seeing errors from the Linux side of things, and NFS isn't reporting errors, then (quite obviously), the SAP application is doing that reporting, and whatever conditions THEY say are 'errors' are getting logged.

Your best bet is to call the SAP Application vendor and/or Red Hat support...since you're PAYING FOR RHEL, right??? They can help you run a very detailed trace and analysis of things, and help you diagnose the problem. Have you applied the latest patches to RHEL 5.10's NFS??
