If you plan to use a scale-out filesystem with 'largefs' layout, you must use Veritas Access with an NFS-Ganesha server.

NFS-Ganesha provides support for both NFS version 3 and NFS version 4. NFS-Ganesha is a user-space implementation of the NFS server. The use of a NFS-Ganesha server is optional. NFS-Ganesha is not enabled by default.

For scale-out file systems with largefs layout, an NFS-Ganesha share is always exported from only one node in the cluster. This node can be any one of the nodes in the cluster. At the time of share export, the virtual IP address that is used for accessing the share is displayed. Different shares can be exported from different nodes. The shares are highly available in case of a node failure.

Certain limitations apply for NFS-Ganesha.

See theVeritas Access Release notes for the limitations.

Since the kernel-based NFS server is the default, switch the NFS server to NFS-Ganesha.
