Microsoft.Linux.XenServer.6.Process.Rpcstat.Monitor (UnitMonitor)

Citrix XenServer 6 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. Start the process using the run level startup script "/etc/init.d/nfslock restart" or by clicking the recovery link in the Operations Manager Console.

For root cause analysis, first check the system logfile (/var/log/messages), and view any related entries at the time of failure.
