NFS V2 to V3 update - On the fly!

[CPHVF-U Guard]

Hi

I'm in the process og updating some 10.20 servers that are interconneted with NFS, but some of them are running NFS V2, which I need to update to NFS V3. These servers are in 24h operation and should not be restarted nor should they loose their NFS mounts.
Can I update to NFS V3 without loosing the NFS mount - on the fly? How?

Cheers,

The simple answer is NO. The NFS daemons will need to be restarted, therefore it will lose the mounts. In some cases, upgrading NFS might require a reboot, especially if there are kernel changes.

You might want to consider clustering in the future.
