OpenVMS mounting

[Rachel_24]

Hi guys..
Can you tell me the details on OpenVMS mounting using NFS version3? thanks

Rachel,

welcome to the OpenVMS ITRC forum.

Could you explain a little bit more in detail, what you want your OpenVMS system to do regarding NFS V3 ?

You need a TCPIP product stack installed and licensed to run NFS.

OpenVMS can be a NFS server or NFS client or both.

We have an OpenVMS directory mounted to a Tru64 server.

Previously we were encountered an â NFS3 server error not responding, still tryingâ and was able to resolve this by mounting using â o proto=tcp .

However, file copy is a little bit slow at 1 minute per 1MB file. Other than it might be a NW bandwidth issues, is there anything else we need to configure (for NFS client)?

Thanks for the help.

Rachel,

there isn't much to tune on the OpenVMS TCPIP NFS server side. See chapter 22.15 in the TCPIP management guide for performance tuning:

If you copy the file using FTP, how does the FTP performance compare with the NFS performance ?
