netapps server is not responding
|
|
| blackdog 2005-11-08, 6:29 pm |
| In my /var/adm/messages, it contains the following error.
clinet_hostname statd[203]: [ID 859811 daemon.warning] statd: host
old_netapps_server_hostname is not responding
I used old_netapps_server_hosntame before, but I have changed the
netapps server and
with new hostname. why is the mouning still trying to pull the
old_netapps_server_hostname.
I have cleaned up /var/yp/aliases on client system and I use the new
domain name
at /var/yp/binding/new_domain_name
Please shed a light.
Thanks in advance

Does old_netapps_server_hostname resolve?

That sentence may be key to identifying the problem and is unclearly
worded. Can you try again?

What's the fstab, vfstab, or whatever, look like? What OS are you on?

Hang on, you're getting off in the weeds. Can you resolve the hostname?
Can you ping it? Let's not worry about YP until you can actually see
the netapp. I suspect name resolution problems and nothing more at this
point.

I have NIS server, mount the file form NetApps. NetApps is my filer.

We have moved the old_netapps_server to other area, I should not use
the old_netapps_server.
since I have the new server with the new hostname.
Right now, the client is trying to talk to old_netapps_server.
Obviously, client cannot
get respond.

I use Solaris 2.8 for client, the vfstab as below:
fd - /dev/fd fd - no -
/proc - /proc proc - no -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s1 - - swap - no -
/dev/dsk/c0t0d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 / ufs 1

So you have a unix system of some sort, which uses nfs to mount a share
exported by the filer.

There is your problem.

You need to change your vfstab to point to:
newserver:/share
instead of
oldserver:/share

There is nothing talking about your filer in that vfstab. Perhaps you
are mounting it by automount? What do /etc/auto?master and
/etc/auto?home look like, for instance?
Until you know what mechanism is supposed to be mounting that device,
you don't know where to fix the problem.

Yes, I use automount.
the auto_home contains:
+auto_home
and auto_master contains:
+auto_master
/net -hosts -nosuid,nobrowse
/home auto_home -nobrowse
/xfn -xfn

And what's in the auto_home map? The question we're painfully getting
towards, slowly, maybe, is, where is the old netapp's hostname coming
from. Find that, fix that. All will be better.
Can you mount it manually? That'll verify that you're on the right
track.

Likewise, what does the auto_master map look like?

I can mount from new filer system. But, every time I reboot the client,
the log /var/adm/messages comes up an error as below on client:
Oct 10 22:40:38 client_system statd[203]: [ID 859811 daemon.warning]
statd: host old_netapps_server is not responding
auto_master file contains as below:
+auto_master
/net -hosts -nosuid,nobrowse
/home auto_home -nobrowse
/xfn -xfn
and the auto_home file contains as below:
+auto_home

You need to look at the automount maps on your YP master.

That's the map.

That's also a map.

My /var/statmon/sm contains the new netapps_server_hostname, but the
sm.bak
contains the previous (old) netapps_server_hostname.
Do you think this is the impact when I reboot my client system, the
client is trying to
pull the old_netapps_srever, and it turns out "is not responding"
I thought the old_netapps_server_name is in sm.bak which should be an
impact,
any idea.

Yes.

What happens is that statd uses the filenames as reminders that there's
outstanding business on the server in question (locks, whatnot)

| Thank you very much. And I am sorry I need to ask one more quesiton.
Since my client system is trying to mount from old_netapps_server but
"no responding"
will it impact old_netapps_server's clinet system get lockup?

It's not mounting, just trying to contact it. It should not cause
any lockups.

I am looking into the problem.
