[NFS mount Error] System Error: No route to host.

Description: 

Iptables running and blocked the nfs port

when running

# mount -t nfs ovm1:/u01 /mnt

The following error messages display:

mount: mount to NFS server 'ovm1' failed: System Error: No route to host.

Root Cause:

Firewall block the NFS requied port.

Fixed steps:

1. stop the iptables firewall. (sounds stupid)

2. 

2.1 Modify /etc/sysconfig/nfs

add the following information into the nfs file

LOCKD_TCPPORT=32803
LOCKD_UDPPORT=32769
MOUNTD_PORT=892
STATD_PORT=662
STATD_OUTGOING_PORT=2020

2.2 restart the nfs services and verify the port real used

# service portmap restart

# service nfs restart

# rcpinfo -p localhost

2.3 Add rules into iptables
