The following are some instructions we received from Ian Wells of HP for setting the noac option on NFS. We have not tried them ourselves. We are including them here because you may find them useful. Note that some of the steps may be specific to HP systems, and you may need root permission to execute some of the commands. >1. first confirm you are running nfs version 3 > >rpcnfo -p `hostname` | grep nfs > >ie > goedel >rpcinfo -p goedel | grep nfs > 100003 2 udp 2049 nfs > 100003 3 udp 2049 nfs > > >2. then edit /etc/fstab for each nfs directory read/written by MPIO > on each machine used for multihost MPIO. > > Here is an example of a correct fstab entry for /epm1: > > ie grep epm1 /etc/fstab > > ROOOOT 11>grep epm1 /etc/fstab > gershwin:/epm1 /rmt/gershwin/epm1 nfs bg,intr,noac 0 0 > > if the noac option is not present, add it > and then remount this directory > on each of the machines that will be used to share MPIO files > >ie > >ROOOOT >umount /rmt/gershwin/epm1 >ROOOOT >mount /rmt/gershwin/epm1 > >3.
