NFS client translation support

Table 1 contains NFS client attributes. See Table 1 for more information about considerations for native ASCII environment support.

Table 1. z/OS NFS clients with non-z/OS based NFS servers
Client Attributes Specified	Mount Option	Read	Write
xlat(Y), cln_ccsid,srv_ccsid	No TAG specified	NFS client does translation	NFS client does translation
xlat(N)	TAG(TEXT,CCSID)	Logical file system does translation	Logical file system does translation
xlat(Y)	TAG(TEXT,CCSID)	Mount will fail	Mount will fail
Notes: The logical file system will do translation when the mount tag option is specified. It will do translation based on the process tag (calling application) and file tag (if the file tag is not zeros or untagged). Otherwise, the system will do translation based on the process tag and mount tag for the CCSID information. It is assumed that the user doing the mount knows the files being accessed from the remote non-z/OS file systems. So the CCSID needs to be set accordingly. Data written to the server will be stored in a specific CCSID format. To read it back correctly, the correct CCSID must be specified (for example, without it being translated with the wrong CCSID). For more information about client mount options, see Commands and examples for AIX and UNIX clients and Commands and examples for z/OS NFS clients.
