omnios showmount: RPC: Program not registered

On a vanilla install of omnios, shutdown command fails due to the system being unable to execute showmount.

To resolve this issue you must enable NFS which also requires that you share a directory, below are the steps involved:

echo 'share -F nfs -o ro=test -d "test directory" /export/home' >> /etc/dfs/dfstab


svcadm enable network/nfs/server

to ensure this has worked correctly execute

showmount

this should not return any errors.. simply execute shutdown and you should be back on your way!
