Enabling or disabling NFSv4 referrals

You can enable NFSv4 referrals on storage virtual machines (SVMs) by enabling the options -v4-fsid-change and -v4.0-referrals or -v4.1-referrals. Enabling NFSV4 referrals can result in faster data access for NFSv4 clients that support this feature.

Before you begin

If you want to enable NFS referrals, you must first disable parallel NFS. You cannot enable both at the same time.
