Solaris

Hi Experts,

While playing with smf in my local system ( which is not in production ) i am unable to restart the service svc:/network/nfs/server:default . I tried starting it in different way, however unable to restart the same.

I was checking the dependency for that I disabled the service svc:/network/nfs/mapid:default

Then later I enable the above service and tried enabling the service

svc:/network/nfs/server:default

No luck .

Later I tried restoring the smf service by running the script available on the below path

/lib/svc/bin/ ./restore_repository and rebooted the system , still no success .

Please help and also suggest where I went wrong in the entire process .

Thanks

Did you configure the system to share some filesystems ?
nfs/server won't run if it has nothing to do.

Thanks bro,

I do not have any nfs file to share.

But is't it should start the services once I am trying to start manually

I guess its starts but quickly ends when detecting it has nothing to do.

if nothing is shared in /etc/dfs/dfstab the service won't start!

Thanks guys,

I have one more question .

Once I open /etc/dfs/dfstab i do not see any nfs file entry there, however once I run the command df –n , there are couple of nfs file system are visible.

How that’s possible.

Thanks again in anticipation

this are nfs shares from OTHER servers!
