Process Rpcbind Service Health

Solaris 10 Process Rpcbind Monitor

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

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

The rpcbind daemon converts RPC program numbers into universal addresses.

Causes

A failure indicates that the rpcbind daemon is not running.

Resolutions

Check the service on the system by running ps -ef | grep rpcbind or by viewing the diagnostic in the Operations Manager Console. If it is down, you can start the service by using the command '/etc/init.d/rpc start' or by clicking the recovery link in the Operations Manager Console. If rpcbind fails to start, other rpc services may need to be started prior. Verify and recover any other rpc alerts.

For root cause analysis, first check the system log file (/var/adm/messages), and view any related entries at the time of failure. You may also check the system for any process core files. Use '/usr/bin/pstack [corefile]' to print a stack trace which will assist in troubleshooting the cause of failure.
