    Hi guys

    I managed to get help from IBM engineer why this problem happening . whenever i do rpcinfo <hostname> getting output but using rpcinfo <ip address> no output founded.By checking /etc/hosts founded more then 3 IP with same hostname. Comment out unwanted IP and try again,its working fine.portmap process must be active as well.thanks alot.

    I has same problem like described above from chandru0078 , but in my case was a little bit different and I would like to share my experience with You.

    After careful check I found something disturbing - Hostanme of the server that I was inspected was listed in the /etc/host with Non existing IP address - most probably server was relocated and nobody pay attention that new address does not mach existing one in /etc/host

    Because of this problem I also recive exactly the same error massage like chandru0078:

    rpcinfo: can't contact portmapper: RPC: Rpcbind failure - RPC: 1832-020 Failed (unspecified error)

    After immediate updating of the record with the right IP address - error message disappeared.
    ( Just for clarification - I check the server by different reason - and I was not part of the network relocation process, but happens like that - I found and fix this problem )

    Thank You and wish You to have Nice Day !
