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.
