NFS authentication troubleshooting?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Version 2 nfs mounts served from alpha server running OPEN VMS V7.2-1 onto
 Tru64 server running V5.0.
 
When Tru64 client server boots we get the following error apon nfs mounts :
 
 RPC: Authentication error
 
But once server is up , we can :
 
mount -a
 
And the nfs mounts are successfull.
 
 
 
Any ideas as to cause of this issue and possible fixes ?
 
Thanx

The Answer is :

 
  If you are not already using TCP/IP Services V5.3 or later (as
  available) and with the current ECO, please upgrade.  Please also
  consider upgrading to OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-2 or V7.3-1 or later
  (as available).
 
  Please check the NFS server log for the underlying cause of the
  authentication error; TCPIP SHOW SERVICE NFS/FULL for details.
  Please also check that the users involved in the initial and the
  subsequent and successful mount operations have correct proxies.
 
  To reload proxies particularly on TCP/IP Services V5.1 and later
  NFS implementations, see TCPIP$EXAMPLES:TCPIP$PROXY_RELOAD.COM --
  delays in loading the proxies can also cause authentication errors.
 
  For further assistance, please contact the support center directly.
