Hello, Grant. I'm certain NFS filesystems are supported on clients other than AIX. In fact, the URL below links to the UNIX BAClient manual, which contains the sentence: "Note: On Solaris and HP-UX, the nfstimeoutoption can fail if the NFS mount is hard."
http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6r4/topic/com.ibm.itsm.client.doc/c_bac_nfshsmounts.html Perhaps your source confused NFS support with NFS Version 4 ACL support? http://pic.dhe.ibm.com/infocenter/tsminfo/v6r4/topic/com.ibm.itsm.client.doc/c_bac_nasfs.html On 10/7/2013 4:41 PM, Grant Street wrote:
Hello All Just a heads up to something I found out last week. I have been informed that backing up an NFS server from a non AIX client is NOT supported. This could also include using the snapdiff functionality on Netapps. This is being confirmed now. This may be old news to you, in which case , sorry, but this is a big concern for us. I have created an RFE http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=40014 Thanks Grant
