5438.0. "UCX 4.1 NFS client not seeing updates." by CSC32::R_WILLIAMS () Tue Apr 15 1997 22:36

    Hi,
    
    UCX 4.1 (no ECO's), Alpha 6.2.
    
    Using the NFS client, a customer mounts a disk on an HP 9000 g40
    system, and never sees any updates that are made on the Unix system. 
    The Unix users are using the vi editor.  Even if the customer unmounts
    the disk and remounts it with the UCX MOUNT command, they are not
    seeing the updated files.  The customer has no problem with TCPware or
    other HP nodes, just UCX.  
    
    I did look at the later release notes and did not see much activity
    with NFS fixes, etc.
    
    Any ideas or troubleshooting hints?
    
    Thanks,

    What qualifiers are they using with the UCX mount and with the TCPware
    mount?

    Julie,
    
    The customer only indicated the following command with no special
    qualifiers:
    
    $ UCX MOUNT dnfs1:[remote_vol.dsim] /host="glacier.instance.com" /path="/tmp"
    
    Not sure what they are using with other HP or TCPware nodes.  The above
    mount should not prevent them from seeing updates from the HP system.
    If you need me to get all the mounts from the various systems, I could
    do that.
    
    Any troubleshooting hints for the client?  Is TCPIPTRACE about the only
    way to get information on what is happening?
    
    Thanks,

    I am asking about the mount qualifiers because there is one that is new
    in UCX V4.2 that might affect this.  I don't know if it's already
    available in TCPware.
    
    And what TCPware version are they running?

    Yes, just TCPIPTRACE or a line monitor.

Julie,
    
    I received the following reply from this customer:
    
Rick,

I spoke with Ms Soheila again regarding the use of TCPWARE. TCPWARE v5.0 was
running on the node, ALPHA1.  When TCPWARE was installed, all worked 
fine without error.  Now, UCX v4.1 is installed on ALPHA1 and the error you've
been discussing is occurring.

The following are the respective mount commands:

with tcpware v5.0:
$ nfsmount glacier.indsys.com "/view/setcim_4.7_dev/vobs/setcim" -
 nfs1:[remote_vobs.setcim]

$ ucx moun alpha1$dnfs1:[remote_vobs.setcim]/host=3D"glacier.indsys.com"-
        /path=3D"/view/setcim_4.7_dev/vobs/setcim"

    Sounds like time for an IPMT.  Unless you can reproduce this with a
    non-HP server, including the protocol trace is probably a good idea.
