System Administration Commands                          lockd(1M)



NAME
     lockd - network lock daemon

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/lib/nfs/lockd [-g graceperiod]  [-l listen_min_backlog]
     [-t timeout] [nthreads]

DESCRIPTION
     The lockd utility is part of the  NFS  lock  manager,  which
     supports   record  locking  operations  on  NFS  files.  See
     fcntl(2) and lockf(3C). The lock manager provides  the  fol-
     lowing two functions:

       o  It forwards fcntl(2) locking requests for  NFS  mounted
          file systems to the lock manager on the NFS server.

       o  It generates local file locking operations in  response
          to requests forwarded from lock managers running on NFS
          client machines.


     State information kept by the lock manager about these lock-
     ing  requests  can  be  lost  if  the lockd is killed or the
     operating system is rebooted. Some of this  information  can
     be  recovered  as follows. When the server lock manager res-
     tarts, it waits for a grace period for all client-site  lock
     managers   to  submit  reclaim  requests.  Client-site  lock
     managers, on the other hand, are notified by the status mon-
     itor daemon, statd(1M), of the restart and promptly resubmit
     previously granted lock requests. If the lock  daemon  fails
     to secure a previously granted lock at the server site, then
     it sends SIGLOST to a process.

     Administrators can make changes to  the  startup  parameters
     for   lockd   by   logging   in  as  root  and  editing  the
     /etc/default/nfs file (See nfs(4)).

OPTIONS
     The following options are supported:

     -g graceperiod          Deprecated in favor of GRACE_PERIOD.
                             Specify  the  number of seconds that
                             all clients  (both  NLM  and  NFSv4)
                             have  to  reclaim  locks  after  the
                             server reboots. It also controls the
                             NFSv4 lease interval. This option is
                             equivalent to the LOCKD_GRACE_PERIOD
                             parameter.

System Administration Commands                          lockd(1M)



     -l listen_min_backlog   Specify   the    listener    backlog
                             (listen_min_backlog).
                             listen_min_backlog  is  the   number
                             connect requests that are queued and
                             waiting to be processed  before  new
                             connect   requests   start   to  get
                             dropped.



     -t timeout              Specify the  number  of  seconds  to
                             wait  before  retransmitting  a lock
                             request to the  remote  server.  The
                             default   value   is   15   seconds.
                             Equivalent          of           the
                             LOCKD_RETRANSMIT_TIMEOUT   parameter
                             in the nfs file.



OPERANDS
     nthreads                Specify the maximum number  of  con-
                             current  threads that the server can
                             handle. This concurrency is achieved
                             by up to nthreads threads created as
                             needed  in  the   kernel.   nthreads
                             should be based on the load expected
                             on this server. If nthreads  is  not
                             specified,  the  maximum  number  of
                             concurrent threads will  default  to
                             20.  Equivalent of the LOCKD_SERVERS
                             parameter in the nfs file.

System Administration Commands                          lockd(1M)



NOTES
     The lockd service  is  managed  by  the  service  management
     facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:

     svc:/network/nfs/nlockmgr

     Administrative actions on this service,  such  as  enabling,
     disabling,  or  requesting  restart,  can be performed using
     svcadm(1M). The service's status can be  queried  using  the
     svcs(1) command.

     If it is disabled, it  will  be  enabled  by  mount_nfs(1M),
     share_nfs(1M),     and     automountd(1M)     unless     its
     application/auto_enable property is set to false.

     This daemon might not exist in a future release of Solaris.
