Thread: DSS : Portmapper and NFS out of order

    Default DSS : Portmapper and NFS out of order

    Hello,

    Transtec DSS Version: 5.0.DB49000000.3278 with some NAS volumes and some iSCSI volumes.

    Following a restart, all the NFS shares of my NAS are now unavailable.

    # showmount -e 150.2.39.9
    mount clntudp_create: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Unable to receive

    # rpcinfo -p 150.2.39.9
    rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Remote system error - Connection refused

    There's NO firewall between the clients and the DSS.

    On the Web interface, in Configuration/Nas setting, "Use NFS" is checked, as well as on the shares. There's no IP restriction in place.

    If I uncheck "Use NFS" and Apply : it takes 2 seconds. When I recheck the box and Apply, the web interface waits and waits and waits for a few minutes then stops (as if after a timeout) and the problem is still there : NO nfs.

    The number of nfsd is set at the default: 64. The DSS has 18Gb of RAM.

    The shares are accessible via samba and the content is perfectly normal. I attempted a Repair via the Extended Tools and rebooted, still nothing.

    It looks like the nfs daemons and/or portmap fail to start, but I have no way to know why: nothing appears in the Event Viewer. No message, nothing.

    I have some servers that need NFS access to this NAS.

    Help ?

    Can you submit a ticket from the support page - I might need to look at the critical error logs to see anything and or I can get you an update. Also try to update to the latest release to build 3518.
    All the best,

    Hello and thank you for your answer.

    I'm currently downloading "Open-E DSS update ver. 5.00 up62 zip build 3518" to upgrade, but it might take some time before I have a maintenance window.

    I'm submitting a ticket, but I don't know how to access the "critical error log"?

    This device is on a private network and there's no way I can give access to anyone outside of my company.

    Regards

    Correction. I found it in status/hardware.

    Sorry.

    Problem was solved after updating to build 3518.

    NFS became "unstuck".

    Probably normal, since it clobbered the whole previous system, just keeping the setup and configuration. Glad I didn't have to restore backups anyway.

    Only problem is the NFS shares suddenly became prefixed with /shares/ and I had to unregister all the VMs on these shares, umount the shares, remount them with the new name and re-register the VMs.

    Tedious at best...

    The first boots with the new version took a very very long time, the web interface being unresponsive, even after everything was accessible again.

    A final reboot gave me the web gui back.
