AIX NIM NFS issues
Posted in AIX, IBM PowerVM
Recently ran into a problem with NIM communication between an LPAR and the NIM server.
The errors looked like this:
Permission denied
rc=175
0042-175 c_mkbosi: An unexpected result was returned by the “/usr/sbin/mount” co
mmand:
The problem was that my “/etc/exports” file on the NIM server contained some stale entries that resulted in a “file not found” error when running exportfs. It seems like these stale entries caused new entries to fail.
The solution was to clear out these entries so that “exportfs -a” would run without error.
