As of the writing of this publication, use of the following functions must be restricted because they have not been successfully tested on the listed systems:

• AIX 6.1/7.1
  • NFSv4 mounts to MVS data sets must include a leading slash before the HLQ.
• Linux
  • Red Hat EL 5
    • Cannot mount NFSv4 shares that include Symbolic Links
    • Cannot recover from FH_Expired after server restart or failover. Mount attribute mvsmnt should be used to work around this restriction.
    Note: For NFS version 4 mounts to the z/OS NFS Server, it is recommended to use the "nordirplus" mount option from Linux NFS Clients.
  • Suse SLES 10.4
    • Cannot mount NFSv4 shares that include Symbolic Links
    • KRB5p is not supported
    • Cannot recover from FH_Expired after server restart or failover. Mount attribute mvsmnt should be used to work around this restriction.
    Note: For NFS version 4 mounts to the z/OS NFS Server, it is recommended to use the "nordirplus" mount option from Linux NFS Clients.
• Suse SLES 11.2
  • Cannot mount NFSv4 shares that include Symbolic Links
  • Cannot recover from FH_Expired after server restart or failover. Mount attribute mvsmnt should be used to work around this restriction. Mount option "nordirplus" should be used to work around a FH issue between Suse 11 and z/OS NFS server.
• Windows
  • Double quotes have to be used when Maestro client 2008 (minimal maestro patch 15) mounts to the z/OS NFS server if the remote mount path doesn't exactly match the NFS exports.

    Example 1: Export USS /u/user* or MVS A.B in export file.

    Maestro GUI:

    	"\\server\/hfs/u/user4"
    	"\\server\/A.B.CD" 

    DOS/Shell:

    nfs link mountdrive \"\\server\/hfs/u/user4\" /T /4 /A:u
    nfs link  mountdrive \"\\server\/A.B.CD\" /T /4 /A:u

    Example 2: Use double quotes when mounting to the z/OS server with z/OS server attributes.

    Maestro GUI:

    "\\server\/nfsexport,binary"

    DOS/Shell:

    nfs link  mountdrive  \"\\server\/nfsexport,binary\"  /T /4 /A:u
