DB2 Version 9.7 for Linux, UNIX, and Windows

Verifying that NFS is running (Linux and UNIX®)

NFS must be running on each computer.

To verify that NFS is running on each computer:

AIX® operating systems

Type the following command on each computer:

   lssrc -g nfs

The Status field for NFS processes should indicate active.

After you have verified that NFS is running on each system, you should check for the specific NFS processes required by DB2® products. The required processes are:

   rpc.lockd
   rpc.statd

HP-UX and Solaris operating systems

Type the following command on each computer:

   showmount -e hostname

Enter the showmount command without the hostname parameter to check the local system.

If NFS is not active you will receive a message similar to the following:

   showmount: ServerA: RPC: Program not registered

After you have verified that NFS is running on each system, you should check for the specific NFS processes required by DB2 products:

   rpc.lockd
   rpc.statd

You can use the following commands to check for these processes:

   ps -ef | grep rpc.lockd
   ps -ef | grep rpc.statd

Linux® operating systems

Type the following command on each computer:

   showmount -e hostname

Enter the showmount command without the hostname parameter to check the local system.

If NFS is not active you will receive a message similar to the following:

   showmount: ServerA: RPC: Program not registered

After you have verified that NFS is running on each system, you should check for the specific NFS processes required by DB2 products. The required process is rpc.statd.

You can use the ps -ef | grep rpc.statd commands to check for this process.

If these processes are not running, consult your operating system documentation.
