I'm having a problem to mount on NFS server. Able to view from rpcinfo -p <servername> but fail when to perform showmount -e <servername> with message:
showmount: 1831-263 RPC: 1832-008 Timed out.
Really exausted to found the root cause. Pls guide.

Sometimes a stop/startsrc -g nfs does wonders on NFS servers. Helped me twice and was always the last thing I tried, when all other obvious things where checked and ok

Cheers seth

Yes they did restarted the services. The NFS server is Solaris on the other cloud of network. Firewall claimed that, it has been opened. But it keep give me the same error.
What does it mean for :
rpcinfo -u btsdev nfs
rpcinfo: RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: 1832-008 Timed out
program 100003 is not available
rpcinfo -u btsdev mount
rpcinfo: RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: 1832-008 Timed out
program 100005 is not available
rpcinfo -u btsdev portmap
rpcinfo: RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: 1832-008 Timed out
program 100000 is not available

Looks like not all ports on firewall are open. Two things now conme to my mind.
a) open for the adress all ports on the firewall and see wich are used and enable them.
b) due it's another OS involved it might help to set nfs_use_reserved_ports = 1 in the nfso settings (nfso -o nfs_use_reserved_ports=1 to enable it). Had to enable this one time due a LINUX NFS client was to stuborn to connect otherwise...

Hope this helps you somehow

Thanks. Will check on the firewall on this

With Slowaris it is more than likley nfs_use_reserved_ports as Seth has stated above.
