AIX 6.1 Process Portmap Monitor

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This portmap daemon is not running. Check the Diagnostic and Recovery results to see if further action is required.

The portmap daemon converts RPC program numbers into universal addresses.

Causes

A failure indicates that the portmap daemon is not running (possibly due to a corrupt network configuration db).

Resolutions

Check the daemon on the system by running 'ps -ef | grep portmap' or by viewing the diagnostic in the Operations Manager Console. If it is down, you can start the process using the command 'startsrc -s portmap' or by clicking the recovery link in the Operations Manager Console.

For root cause analysis, check the system log file by using the command 'errpt', and view any related entries at the time of failure.
