Brisque cannot mount a RISC 6000 volume as an NFS (Network File System) volume


Product		Brisque™ Serve Timna™
Platform		E30—Victory 43P-140—Tiger1 43P-150—Tiger2 44P-170—Hammerhead F50—Wildcat (2 and 4 CPUs) 6F1—Condor (2, 4, and 6 CPUs)
Operating system		IBM^®AIX 4.2.1 and IBMAIX 4.3.3

Symptoms		Brisque cannot mount a RISC 6000 volume as an NFS (Network File System) volume. When you run the command `showmount -e`, the message `Ripro01 : RPC 1832-019 Program not registered.` appears. This message also appears on the NFS clients when you attempt to mount the NFS server volumes.

Cause		The AIX operating system cannot resolve the host name of the server, because the DNS (Domain Name Server) was not located.

Solution		This solution ensures that the DNS queries the local /etc/hosts file on Brisque or Timna. At the AIX command line prompt, open a text editor. Type the following text: `hosts=local,bind services=local` Save the file with the name netsvc.conf in the /etc/ folder (/etc/netsvc.conf).
