Problem with NFS server (Solaris 10)

Hello Guys,

I have just joined this forum & hope that I will find a solution to my question.

I have configured NFS shares on my machine solaris 10 (5.10). Shares have rw access for everyone.

Tried starting NFS server daemon with following command.

svcadm -v enable -t network/nfs/server

But it does not show any verbose o/p when I start server & also it starts only two services related to nfs:

# ps -ef |grep nfs
daemon 3188 1 0 06:00:28 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/nfs/lockd
daemon 3186 1 0 06:00:28 ? 0:00 /usr/lib/nfs/statd

It does not start mountd & nfsd daemons.

When I issue command to view the nfs shares, I get following error:

# dfshares
nfs dfshares:n10021web0010.wdc1.aens.net: RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Unable to receive
# showmount -e
showmount: n10021web0010.wdc1.aens.net: RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Unable to receive

It says RPC bind failure but rpcbind daemon is started when I check

# ps -ef |grep bind
daemon 590 1 0 Mar 13 ? 0:00 /usr/sbin/rpcbind

Please anyone can help me out on this.

Thanks,
Ravi

do you have anything in /etc/dfs/dfstab?

Yes friend....I have three entries in /etc/dfs/dfstab

share -F nfs /export
share -F nfs /disk3
share -F nfs /disk4

Thanks,
Ravi

svcadm -v enable -r -t network/nfs/server
