How to Select Different Versions of NFS on a Client

The following procedure explains how to control which version of NFS is used on the client. The NFS version that is set by default is NFS Version 4.1.

  1. Become an administrator.
  2. Change SMF parameters to set the NFS Version numbers.

    For example, if you want all file systems to be mounted using the NFS Version 4.1 protocol, set the values for both the client_versmax and client_versmin parameters to 4.1.

    # sharectl set -p client_versmax=4.1 nfs
    # sharectl set -p client_versmin=4.1 nfs
  3. Mount NFS on the client.
    # mount server-name:/share-point /local-dir
    server-name

    Name of the server.

    /share-point

    Path of the remote directory

    /local-dir

    Path of the local mount point
