AIX - Start daemon

Using srcstart command we can start the daemon.Actually nfs daemon has 5 subsystems (services), when you configured nfs in server, that 5 subsystems are always start state. If one subsystem is not working properly or not started, then the nfs is not working properly.

Nfs daemons:

Server: 1. nfsd, 2. rpc.mountd

Client: 3.biod, 4. rpc.statd, 5. rpc.lockd

If clients are not able to access the network file system from the server, that time you have to start or restart the nfsd and rpc.mountd subsystems.

#startsrc –s nfsd
#startsrc –s rpc.mountd

Flag –s is mentioned for single, because we are starting single nfsd subsystem

If we want start complete nfs daemons using –g flag

#startsrc –g nfs
Nfsd – started
Biod – started
Rpc.mountd – started
Rpc.lockd – started
Rpc.statd – started
#
The above command is start all the 5 subsystems at the same time, but it is not recommended.
Like this we start single subsystem or group of subsystems.
