Hello managers,
We recently added some ip aliases to our nfs server by adding
ifconfig ee0 alias 1.2.3.4
ifconfig ee0 alias 1.2.3.5
ifconfig ee0 alias 1.2.3.6
to our /etc/inet.local file. Each alias has a corresponding dns entry
which resolves forward and reverse as expected.
We are having an issue with nfs mounted file systems when the file
system is mounted via one of these aliases. It seems rpc.lockd and
rpc.statd bind only to the first ip on a given interface. So in the
case above if the interface ee0 has 1.2.3.3 and the above aliases
rpc.lockd and rpc.statd only listen on 1.2.3.3 and not the above
aliases.
rpcinfo -p shows me the ports that these two services are listening
on, and netstat -na shows which interfaces these ports are listening on.
rpcinfo -p |grep -E "stat|lock"
100001 2 udp 2080 rstatd
100001 3 udp 2080 rstatd
100001 4 udp 2080 rstatd
100024 1 udp 1650 status
100024 1 tcp 2550 status
100021 1 tcp 2551 nlockmgr
100021 2 tcp 2551 nlockmgr
100021 3 tcp 2551 nlockmgr
100021 4 tcp 2551 nlockmgr
100020 3 tcp 2551 llockmgr
100021 1 udp 1651 nlockmgr
100021 2 udp 1651 nlockmgr
100021 3 udp 1651 nlockmgr
100021 4 udp 1651 nlockmgr
100020 3 udp 1651 llockmgr
netstat -na | grep for ports from above list
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1.2551 *.*
LISTEN
tcp 0 0 1.2.3.3.2551 *.* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1.2550 *.*
LISTEN
tcp 0 0 1.2.3.3.2550 *.* LISTEN
udp 0 0 *.2080 *.*
udp 0 0 127.0.0.1.1651 *.*
udp 0 0 1.2.3.3.1651 *.*
From this list rstatd (not nfs related, services rup requests) is
listening on all interfaces, but all remaining ports(rpc.statd &
rpc.lockd) are listening only on localhost and the first interface.
I can start a second rpc.lockd with that -b argument and a hostname or
ip address, but I cannot start a statd. My NFS clients are having
locking issues that are preventing them from functioning.
I know the easy fix is to tell my NFS clients to mount via the primary
IP instead of the aliases, but I am seeking an alternative solution for
various reasons.
Thanks,
