Perhaps I've missed something but I'm not sure how relevant that post is. They show use of mountd, then discuss use of TCP and UDP, and the post doesn't get resolved...have I missed something in that thread?

No, you didn't miss anything in that thread but it did say that different NFS versions use different protocols. The moderator that said that, Bakunin, is very knowledgeable on AIX.

He might chip in when he sees your thread.

Ah OK, that's fine I was already aware of that. I'm using NFSv3. TCP and UDP ports are available, and I can get from LPAR1 to NIM using the TCP port:

Code:
[root@NIMsvr /]$ rpcinfo -p | grep mountd
    100005    1   tcp  57906  mountd
    100005    2   tcp  57906  mountd
    100005    3   tcp  57906  mountd
    100005    1   udp  38084  mountd
    100005    2   udp  38084  mountd
    100005    3   udp  38084  mountd

Code:
[root@LPAR1 ~]$ telnet nimsvr 57906

Check RPC is running on both servers.

rpcinfo -p <remote server>

It is indeed running. I have recently restarted the NIM server, and it took a while to come up. It was stalling at starting up the rpc.mountd daemon. Then it finished OK:

Code:
0513-059 The nfsd Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 5177506.
05/23 09:10:51 tftpd: [00000001] EZZ7001I Starting.

0513-059 The rpc.lockd Subsystem has been started. Subsystem PID is 3277042.
Completed NFS services.

See output of the rpcinfo command below:

Hi, I seen something like this with systems with an external and internal network. Make sure your routing is setup correctly from the LPARs. I know, pretty generic to say.



Also any firewall between your systems? Also another reason for timeouts.
If there is a firewall consider updating /etc/services with new mountd entries then refresh the rpc.mountd service. By default, I think mountd can use anything between 32768 to 65535. So by forcing it to a port you can reduce the set of rules that need to be modified.
