STORAGE - NetApp - Tracking NFS Issues

                          NetApp - Tracking NFS issues

Many a times you would have experienced a lot of problems while mounting a NFS volume on any host from a NetApp Storage.
Most of the times we end up checking the log files on the host side thinking that the issue might be with the host itself.

Recently i ran into an issue wherein i was not able to mount a NFS volume from my NetApp controller to the Linux Server.

A couple of thumb rules that you need to follow when you doing a task like this are -

1. The NFS versions on both Storage (NetApp) and the HOST (Solaris /Linux/etc etc).
2. The connectivity between the Storage appliance and the HOST.

If still the issue persists --

Do the following on the Storage appaliance.

At the prompt of the NetApp storage appliance do the following -

NetApp1> options nfs.mountd.trace

nfs.mountd.trace             off

NetApp1> options nfs.mountd.trace on

Turning ON this option on the storage appliance will tell you where exactly the problem is.

Hope this helps.

Thank you..
