Description

Depending on your environment, in may be necessary to force LMI to initiate NFS connections using NFSv3 only. LMI will use NFSv3 but it tries NFSv4 first and only falls back to NFSv3 if v4 is unavailable. To configure your appliance to default to NFSv3, follow the steps below:

Issue/Introduction

This article shows how to force your appliance to use NFSv3 when mounting NAS shares.

Resolution

1. Open the following file with a text editor - /etc/nfsmount.conf
2. In here, you will see a block of text that looks like the following (the actual text and position in the file may vary according to your LMI version):

# Setting this option makes it mandatory the server supports the
# given version. The mount will fail if the given version is
# not support by the server.
# Nfsvers=4


3. Change the last line so it looks like this:

Nfsvers=3

4. Save the file, then restart the NFS service with the following command:

service nfs restart

Any new NFS connections will now only be NFSv3.
