This problem concerns VMS NFS (UCX V1.2) and SunOS V4.1 ,but since it basically deals with NFS I decided to post it in this newsgroup, that is to keep everyone happy... :-) After upgrading a SparcStation to SunOS V4.1 (coming from V4.0.3) we are no longer able to mount file systems residing on a VMS NFS server running Ultrix Connection Software V1.2 / VMS V5.3-1. The NFS server bombs out with: %%%%%%%%%%%% NFS$SERVER 26-JUL-1326 11:16:46.76 %%%%%%%%%%%% %UCX-E-NFS_NOPROG, requested RPC program unavailable -UCX-S-NFS_RPCHDR, xid = 928DAD26 program = 100005 version = 2 procedure = 0 -UCX-S-NFS_CLIENT, uid=0 gid=0 host_name = ^^^^^^^^^^^ I am by no means an NFS expert but the accompanying message in the UCX System Manager's Guide tells me that this happens when there is a mismatch between NFS versions running on the server versus the client. Could someone elaborate some more on this ? What NFS version does UCX V1.2 implement ? Is Sun OS V4.1 NFS too elevated for UCX V1.2 or vice versa ? Will UCX V1.3 be able to handle SunOS V4.1 client systems ? We will probably delay any further upgrades of other Sparcstations until I got some more insight into this.

SunOS 4.1 includes support for a new version of the Mount protocol. The 4.1 release notes say that this is needed for support of the "posix" NFS mount option. However, the impression I got from the manual (and the fact that our 4.1 systems are able to mount file systems from our 4.0.3 and Ultrix file servers) is that a 4.1 system will fall back to the v1 protocol unless the "posix" option is used. So, make sure you aren't specifying the "posix" option when mounting the VMS system. -- Barry Margolin, Thinking Machines Corp. barmar@think.com {uunet,harvard}!think!barmar
