If the access is non-native, translation rules come to

effect and it is recommended to contact Dell Technical

Support.

NFS Insecure Access To Secure Export

Description

User tries to access a secure export from an insecure

port.

Cause

Secure export requirement means that the accessing

clients must use a well-known port (below 1024), which

usually means that they must be root (uid=0) on the client.

Workaround

Identify the relevant export and verify that it is set

as secure (requires secure client port).

If the export must remain secure, see the NFS

client documentation in order to issue the mount

request from a well-known port (below 1024).

If a secure export is not required (e.g., the

network is not public), ensure that the export is

insecure and retry accessing it.

NFS Mount Fails Due To Export Options

Description

This event is issued when NFS mount fails due to export

options.

Cause

The export list filters client access by IP, network or

netgroup, and screens the accessing client.

Workaround

1. Verify the relevant export details. Write down all

existing options so that you are able to revert to

them.

2. Remove IP/client restrictions on the export and retry

the mount.

3. If the mount succeeds, verify that the IP or domain is

explicitly specified, or that it is part of the defined

network or netgroups. Pay attention to pitfall

scenarios, where the network netmask is not

intuitive, for example, 192.175.255.254 is part of

192.168.0.0/12 but not of 192.168.0.0/16.

4. Once the mount succeeds, adjust the original

options accordingly.

NFS Mount Fails Due To Netgroup Failure

Description

This event is issued when client fails to mount an NFS

export because the required netgroup information cannot

be attained.

Cause

This error is usually the outcome of a communication error

between the NAS system and the NIS/LDAP server. It can

be a result of network issue, directory server overload, or

a software malfunction.
