I called
umount -f -l /srv/tftp/mounts
umount -f -l /mounts
and then I restarted the service nfs-kernel.service and then back on qanet I called mount /mounts

@zluo I can list the directories again. Can you check with what you wanted to achieve with the manual installation?

I can access to /mounts and /srv/tftp now
but tftp server still doesn't send grub.cfg to LPAR. Installation is not possible

I restarted atftpd. You can crosscheck yourself if that works or provide steps to reproduce

/srv/tftp/mounts (bind to /mounts) was not mounted correctly because autofs hang. I had to do a killall -9 automount and restarted the autofs service. Before:
qanet:/srv/tftp # ls /mounts/install/SLP/
SLE-15-SP3-Full-Beta2 wgao
Now:
qanet:/srv/tftp # ls /mounts/install/SLP

The file is there but atftpd couldn't serve any files. apparently atftpd as a process was also stuck and we couldn't terminate it so any attempts to restart also failed. We now rebooted qanet and /var/log/atftpd/atftp.log shows success:

ok, good. Likely the problem was caused because servers from BuildOps changed IP addresses. This won't happen that often. Last time likely only happened 6 years ago so we should be ok without doing any further improvements.
