Hi folks. I have a problem that I can't call AIX Support on because it's a 7.1 system. I would appreciate any advice.

This is an old development system in the UK. Customer is not currently using it but wants to migrate it to an LPAR on a Power9 system in Ohio.. It's an 8231-E2B, not HMC managed.  Migration is easy if I can get a good mksysb and some tar files.

df and du commands are hanging on an NFS mount to an AWS netapp file server.

NFS server <remote IP> not responding still trying

From /etc/filesystems I know what the mount directory and pathname is

#/dm_builds_local:
#        dev             = /vol1/dm_builds_local
#        vfs             = nfs
#        nodename        = <netapp pathname>
#        mount           = true
#        account         = false

I'm trying to find the safest way to kill that mount command without rebooting. 

I've tried stopsrc -g nfs but it does not stop the mount attempt.

That mount point does not exist

# ls /vol1
ls: 0653-341 The file /vol1 does not exist.

Thanks for any advice. The searches I've found are not really helpful.
