NIM Cleanup

Sometimes during a nime operation , for example a maint_boot , we encounter a strange and annoying error 611.

This issue is due to a nfs problem during the mount of the spot resource on the client.

Sometimes the error is resolved by correction of the name resolution at the client side ,

but in other cases the problem depends on a nfs server issue.

There is a sequence that allows to clean and reset the nfs server environment to let the published

resources to be available to clients again.

On the master , we start unexporting all nfs resources :

exportfs -ua

stopping the daemon 

stopsrc -g nfs

removing (or moving in other place if you prefer) the daemon relatedfiles 

cd /etc

rm -rf xtab state sm sm.bak rmtab

cd /var/statmon

rm -rf state sm sm.bak

Now we can start again

startsrc -g nfs

And tell the daemon to re-export everything

exportfs -va

We can check the exportde filesystems by typing :

exportfs
