Recovering from /etc/rc errors
Why the filer becomes inaccessible to the administration host
The filer can become inaccessible to the administration host if you introduce one of the following errors into the /etc/rc file when you edit it:
- You specify an incorrect network address, using the interface configuration command. The filer is inaccessible because it is not on the network.
- You improperly export filer directories to the NFS client that is the administration host. The filer is inaccessible because you cannot mount the filer root directory on the NFS client.
