We check and know that the NFS server is not available anymore. So we would like to unmount it, but no help.
The problem is not the NFS itself but the mount process. But the very first question is: which NFS? NFS3 works completely different than NFS4 (and NFS2 is still - theoretically - available although only rarely used these days).

How did you do that? NFS is controlled by the "system resource controller" and you have to stop/start it from there. FIrst, get the status (if you are unsure, please post the output of these comamnds, enclosed in CODE-tags):
Then stop it and/or start it. Before stopping it check for exported directories in /etc/mtab. If this file is not empty there are exports defined. Make sure other hosts are not affected by the stopping of the service.:
Before restarting the NFS check if there are NFS mounts defined in /etc/filesystems.
Hi Bakunin,
I use the method you mentioned, but use the parameter s, not g
Thank you for your mount command. With mount command I found this:
What I look in the config file /etc/filesystems:
--> someone made the bad change here for some reasons.
Now I can force unmount the problematic mountpoint --- Post updated at 10:31 AM ---
First a (minor) appeal: for quotes please use "QUOTE"-tags, not "CODE"-tags. The resulting formatting is different and it is easier that way to keep track of various parts of a posting. Thank you for your consideration.

The difference is that stopsrc -s only stops a single service (in this case nfsd) whereas stopsrc -g stops a group of services altogether. If you do a lssrc you will see the various groups the services belong to mentioned. You can use this group name to manage whole groups instead of single services. The same goes for startsrc and refresh.
NFS is not only nfsd but also portmapper, biod and statd (and maybe something else, i have no AIX system at hand and am quoting from failing memory). With the -g option you can manage the whole affected group (which is "nfs", not "nfsd"!).

LOL, i know the feeling. Have you ever considered using a sledgehammer on the persons private parts? This, i think, is called "best practice" as it not only drives home the message but also prevents procreation of such people. ;-))
Hi 2 ALL,

Server is accessible only via IPMI. SSH and web control panel is timeout. Takes several hours. Server dont have high load or suspicious processes.

Greetings!
I'm testing a failover solution for NFSv4 on RHEL6 with latest updates.
My script umounts (umount -lf /share) the faulty NFS share if it sees that's hanging on the client (the NFS daemon is down on the NFS server) and it mounts the share from another healthy NFS server.
