Determining if rpc.pcnfsd Is Already Installed

If rpc.pcnfsd is already installed, you do not need to reinstall it. However, the SUNWpcnfd package includes a multi-threaded version of rpc.pcnfsd that allows greater numbers of simultaneous logins than earlier versions (in Solstice Network Client 3.1 Plus and earlier).

To see if rpc.pcnfsd is installed on a server, use one of the following methods:

• Use the ps command to list all processes by name, and check if rpc.pcnfsd is among them.

• Use the ls command to see if rpc.pcnfsd is present in any of the following directories: /opt/SUNWpcnfs/sbin (SunOS 5.4 operating systems and compatible versions only), /etc, /usr/etc, /usr/lib, /bin, or /usr/bin.

To See if rpc.pcnfsd Is Installed

On the server with a SunOS 4.0 operating system or compatible version, enter ls /usr/etc/rpc.pcnfsd.

See if the output shows that the rpc.pcnfsd daemon is already installed. You may also list other directories such as /etc/usr/bin, /bin, and /usr/lib, in case it is not in the expected directory.

On a server with a SunOS 5.4 operating system or compatible version, enter ls /opt/SUNWpcnfs/sbin/rpc.pcnfsd. See if the output shows that the rpc.pcnfsd daemon is already installed.

To See if rpc.pcnfsd Is Running

On a server with a SunOS 4.0 operating system or compatible version, enter ps -ax | grep rpc.pcnfsd.

See if the output shows that the daemon is already running.

On a server with a SunOS 5.4 operating system or compatible version, enter ps -ef | grep rpc.pcnfsd.

See if the output shows that the daemon is already running.
