Beginning with ONTAP 9.14.1, trunking can be enabled on NFS servers. NFSv4.1 is enabled by default when NFS servers are created.

Before you begin

Creating a trunking-enabled NFS server requires an SVM. The SVM must be:

  • backed by sufficient storage for client data requirements.

  • enabled for NFS.

You can use an existing SVM; however enabling trunking requires all NFSv4.x clients to be remounted, which can be disruptive. If remounting is not possible, create a new SVM for the NFS server.

Steps

  1. If a suitable SVM does not exist, create one:

    vserver create -vserver svm_name -rootvolume root_volume_name -aggregate aggregate_name -rootvolume-security-style unix -language C.UTF-8

  2. Verify the configuration and status of the newly created SVM:

    vserver show -vserver svm_name

  3. Create the NFS server:

    vserver nfs create -vserver svm_name -v3 disabled -v4.0 disabled -v4.1 enabled -v4.1-trunking enabled -v4-id-domain my_domain.com

  4. Verify that NFS is running:

    vserver nfs status -vserver svm_name

  5. Verify that NFS is configured as desired:

    vserver nfs show -vserver svm_name
