Managing NFS client communication options using SMIT

Edit online

Use the following procedure to configure the NFS client communication options using SMIT.

  • Type smitty nim_global_nfs on the NIM client.
  • Select any of the NFS client options as shown in the following table.
    Option Value
    Enable/Disable Global Usage of NFS Reserved Ports? Specifies that a non-reserved IP port number is to be used. The value is disable. A value of enable uses a reserved IP port number when the NFS client-communicates with the NFS server.
    Allow NIM to enable port-checking on NIM master? Checks whether an NFS request originated from a privileged port. The default value is no. A value of yes directs the NFS server to do port checking on the incoming NFS requests.
    Specify the NFS Local Domain Specify that the NFS local domain of the system should be changed. The value that you specify is used to create the NIM environment attribute nfs_domain and is used as the domain name in the /etc/nfs/local_domain file.
    Note: You must set this option before exporting NIM resources as NFS V4 mounts.
