32 bit gmake on AIX is having trouble find files on RHEL 6.5 NFS Server export

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • We replaced our RHEL 5.5 NFS Server with a RHEL 6.5 NFS Server. These systems had SAN storage they exported to numerous AIX and Linux NFS Clients. After we started using the RHEL 6.5 NFS Server the AIX NFS Clients are having strange behavior accessing files from the RHEL NFS Server.

  • The gmake command is expected to look for a file called Makefile. Most times it can not find the file. We can vi or cat the Makefile just fine but the gmake command won't see it.

Environment

  • AIX 7.1 TL3 SP4 (Technology Level 3; Service Pack 4) (NFS CLient)
  • AIX 7.1 TL4 SP1 (NFS CLient)
  • AIX 7.1 TL4 SP2 (NFS CLient)
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6.5 (NFS Server)
