NFS How to configure on Oralce Linux 9.5?

ASGR71Jan 29 2025

Hello All!

I'm trying to configure NFS on my OL9.5 server machine so that I can log-in and edit

server SQL scripts, set-up, config files etc…

However, I'm getting the following when I try to log in to NFS:

mount.nfs: Connection timed out for…

I've tried installing NFS as per Oracle docs which seemed too basic and I also tried other

Oracle sites but they started to refer to /etc files that don't exist!

I was under the impression that I only needed to open services for:

111 rpc-bind, 2049 nfs, 20048 mountd…

but it now seems that several other ports need to be opened as static as well for firewall purposes.

I checked with nmap from my dev machine and the open ports are getting through the firewalls:

PORT STATE SERVICE
111/tcp open rpcbind
2049/tcp open nfs
9090/tcp open zeus-admin
20048/tcp open mountd

I believe I'm having issues with these additional ports for: nlockmgr and status. Output from rpcinfo…

program vers proto port service
100000 4 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 3 tcp 111 portmapper
100000 2 tcp 111 portmapper

100005 3 udp 20048 mountd

100003 3 tcp 2049 nfs
100003 4 tcp 2049 nfs
100227 3 tcp 2049 nfs_acl
100021 1 udp 48495 nlockmgr
100021 3 udp 48495 nlockmgr
100021 4 udp 48495 nlockmgr
100021 1 tcp 44795 nlockmgr
100021 3 tcp 44795 nlockmgr
100021 4 tcp 44795 nlockmgr

I've looked at the /etc/nfs.conf file and it looks like I should be able to define the additional ports in this file.

Guidance how to set the correct static port number would be appreciated. Thanks.
