NFS Agent

Starts and monitors the nfsd and mountd processes required by all exported NFS file systems.

Entry Points

  • Online---Checks if nfsd and mountd processes are running. If they are not running, the agent starts the processes and exits.
  • Monitor---Monitors versions 2 and 3 of the nfsd process, and versions 1, 2, and 3 of the mountd process. Monitors TCP and UDP versions of the processes by sending RPC (Remote Procedure Call) calls clnt_create and clnt_call to the RPC server. If the calls succeed, the resource is reported ONLINE.
  • Clean---Kills and restarts the nfsd and mountd processes.

State Definitions

  • ONLINE---Indicates that the NFS daemons are running properly.
  • FAULTED---Indicates that the NFS daemons are not running properly.
  • UNKNOWN---Unable to determine the status of the NFS daemons.
