Use this task to change the default number of connections (nconnect) for ESXi hosts in a selected vCenter Server.

About this task

  • The nconnect value set on this page is the host-level default.

  • This setting applies to all ESXi hosts in the selected vCenter Server for NFSv3 and NFSv4 protocols.

  • If you create an NFS datastore with a higher nconnect value than the current host-level setting, ONTAP tools updates the host-level setting to match.

  2. Select Shortcuts > NetApp ONTAP tools under the plug-ins section.

  3. Select Settings > Default nconnect value.

  4. Select Edit.

  5. Enter the new default nconnect value for ESXi hosts and select Save.
