 Sudhakar,

Make sure rpcbind is running.  If not execute:
/etc/init.d/nfs.server stop
 /etc/init.d/rpc start
 /etc/init.d/nfs.server start

 Hi Managers,
I've a wierd issue with NFS on my Solaris 8 box. I've just restarted NFS and
mountd daemon is not starting.
 the following are the sequence of commands that I've used.

 # /etc/init.d/nfs.server stop
 # /etc/init.d/nfs.server start
# ps -ef | grep nfs
 daemon   296     1  0   Sep 02 ?        0:00 /usr/lib/nfs/statd
 root   295     1  0   Sep 02 ?        0:00 /usr/lib/nfs/lockd
 root 22727     1  0 10:04:58 ?        0:00 /usr/lib/nfs/nfsd -a 16
root 22730 22631  0 10:05:01 pts/9    0:00 grep nfs

 I dont see any mountd present.
 I tried
 #rpcinfo -s | grep mountd
 rpcinfo: can't contact rpcbind: RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: Failed
(unspecified error)

 My /var/adm/messages shows
 # tail -f /var/adm/messages
