sm - network status monitor directory
/etc/sm
The network status monitor provides information about the status of network
hosts to clients such as the network lock manager. The network status monitor
keeps its information in the /etc/sm directory.
The /etc/sm/state file contains an integer that is incremented each time
the filer is booted.
The /etc/sm/monitor file contains a list of network hosts the filer is monitoring.
The /etc/sm/notify file contains a list of network hosts that made an NLM
lock request to the filer. Each time the filer reboots, it tries to notify
the hosts of its new state information. You can remove this file if you
want the filer to stop notifying the hosts in this file.
If the filer cannot resolve a host name in the /etc/sm/notify file or if a
host in the /etc/sm/notify file does not exist on the network any more, the
filer logs an error message each time it tries to contact the host. The
error message is similar to the following:
[sm_recover]: get RPC port for failed
To stop the error messages, remove the /etc/sm/notify file.
