AIX 7 Process Rpcstat Monitor

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This process monitor watches for the rpc.statd process to be running. The rpc.statd server implements the NSM (Network Status Monitor) RPC protocol.

Causes

A failure indicates that the rpc.statd service on the system is down.

Resolutions

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

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