NFS configuration
Hi All,
This will probably be very easy for you to answer. I am trying to set up NFS Server and Client. (and nis as well.) Here is my basic configuration. RHEL4 Server: test.rhtest.org 10.10.99.100 client: test1.rhtest.org 10.10.99.101 server /etc/exports /home *.rhtest.org(mp,rw) /etc/hosts.deny ALL:ALL /etc/hosts.allow portmap:.rhtest.org mountd:.rhtest.org rquotad:.rhtest.org lockd:.rhtest.org statd:.rhtest.org portmap service is running nfs service is running rpcinfo -p shows portmap status rquotad nfs nlockmgr mountd are up. I have restarted the services with service nfs restart service portmap restart I have also used exportfs -ra to restart On the client I added the following /etc/fstab test:/home /exprt nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,hard,intr,nolock 0 0 /exprt is the local directory I am mounting /home to. I have manually tried to mount the remote directory using: #mount -t nfs 10.10.99.100:/home /exprt and #mount -a -t nfs response is: mount to nfs server "test" failed: server is down. I am not sure what log to look at for direction and would like to understand what it is I am doing wrong. As a linux newbie, any help would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards and Thank You in advanced for your help Steve |
Hi,
Check whether your network connections are up, try ping from your client to server. If pinging is ok, check any firewall is running on your server. run rpcinfo -p serveripaddress from your client. Hope this will help you |
It's a step in the right direction.
Thanks! |
thanks for your help.
The fire wall appears to have been the issues. Regards Steve |
