Datapump fails with ORA-27086 on NFS

I've received following error while trying to perform full database export using datapump to NFS:

Export: Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production on Tuesday, 31 May, 2011 11:27:50

Copyright (c) 2003, 2007, Oracle.  All rights reserved.

Connected to: Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
ORA-39001: invalid argument value
ORA-39000: bad dump file specification
ORA-31641: unable to create dump file "/backup-nfs/testdb/export/exportfull.dmp"
ORA-27086: unable to lock file - already in use
Linux Error: 37: No locks available
Additional information: 10

In this case problem was lying in NFS locking deamons - on most Unix-like systems also known as rpc.lockd and the rpc.statd.



Checking if 'nfslock' service is running:
# service nfslock status
rpc.statd is stopped

Start 'nfslock' service:
# /etc/init.d/nfslock start
Starting NFS statd:                                        [  OK  ]

Status:
# service nfslock status
rpc.statd (pid  4943) is running...


Starting 'nfslock' service resolved my problem with performing export to NFS.

    Yolanda S., I opened a SR today on this issue with AIX 6.1. I'm not having the issue with Red Hat. Other info: Oracle 11.2 the nfs mount is EmC data domain.

    # $EXPDP oradba/xxxxxxxxxxxxx DIRECTORY=ddbkup_dir DUMPFILE=expdp_$SID$EXT.dmp LOGFILE=expdp_$SID$EXT.log SCHEMAS=ORADBA

    If restarting service does not work, please check if you have mounted nfs with -nolock option.
