Full Discussion: Unable to create a SPOT
Operating Systems AIX Unable to create a SPOT Post 302927334 by trivium012 on Tuesday 2nd of December 2014 11:33:00 AM

Good morning Bakunin!

Thanks for the reply!

This error happened on my first try. So as part of common sense troubleshooting:
-I unexported everything with exportfs -ua
-Backuped the /etc/exports
-modified the exportfs file to add directly the folder where the SPOT is.
-Exported everything with exportfs -a

Once I noticed the error was still occuring I figured the Folders added in /etc/exportfs are reccursive, therefore I rollbacked.

I'm looking foward to see your procedure Smilie

So I decided to try with a mksysb instead and I found a mksysb ressource that was made prior a prior sysadmin. So I made the SPOT with it, but the error messahe occured again... but this time, when I list the new SPOT, it says Ready for use

Code:
root@oaexpnimp01(/nim/mksysb) # nim -o define -t spot -a source=generic01_61TL6SP5 -a server=master -a location=/nim/spot spottest1

 Creating SPOT in "/nim/spot" on machine "master" from "generic01_61TL6SP5" ...

 Restoring files from BOS image.  This may take several minutes ...


 Checking filesets and network boot images for SPOT "spottest1".
 This may take several minutes ...

warning: 0042-001 m_mkspot: processing error encountered on "master":
   0042-175 c_ch_nfsexp: An unexpected result was returned by the
        "/usr/sbin/exportfs" command:
        exportfs: 1831-186 /nim/mksysb/AIXgeneric/generic01.61TL6SP5.mksysb not found in /etc/exports



root@oaexpnimp01(/nim/mksysb) # lsnim -l spottest1
spottest1:
   class         = resources
   type          = spot
   plat_defined  = chrp
   arch          = power
   Rstate        = ready for use
   prev_state    = verification is being performed
   location      = /nim/spot/spottest1/usr
   version       = 6
   release       = 1
   mod           = 6
   oslevel_r     = 6100-06
   alloc_count   = 0
   server        = master
   if_supported  = chrp.64 ent
   Rstate_result = success
   mksysb_source = generic01_61TL6SP5

I will try with this and keep you posted!

Also, if it works, I also want to know how to fix the problem above! For my own understanding Smilie (I wish I could simulate a PowerPC at home for my personal tests Smilie )

Ok so I allocated my SPOT and my MKSYSB to my new LPAR and started the software installation. But when the LPAR boots, I get stuck on error 0611 :Remote mount of the NFS file system failed.

But all my nfs daemons seems to be running fine (I think?)

Code:
root@oaexpnimp01(/nim/mksysb) # lssrc -g nfs
Subsystem         Group            PID          Status
 biod             nfs              19661004     active
