Most of the time we are facing the NFS mount issue. Please follow the below steps to troubleshoot and fix the NFS mount issue.

1) Execute the below command on the nfs client server to confirm which ip the client wil use on its mount.

traceroute <NFS server hostname>

2) Confirm the IP address getting from the above command added on the nfs server's /etc/hosts, if not added the IP address on the /etc/hosts of the nfs server or else added on the dns.
