NFS version 4. NFS version 3 clients can have fast and transparent planned failovers with more availability and reduced downtime. The failover process is faster for NFS version 3 clients because:. Note that Server for NFS supports transparent failover only when manually initiated, typically during planned maintenance. If an unplanned failover occurs, NFS clients lose their connections. This means that if a local app or SMB session attempts to access the same file that an NFS client is accessing immediately after a planned failover, the NFS client might lose its connections transparent failover wouldn't succeed.
Using the snap-in, you can manage the Server for NFS components installed on the computer. Server for NFS also contains several Windows command-line administration tools:.
These cmdlets provide an easy way to automate NFS management tasks. The NFS server sends the client a file handle after the client is authorized to access the shared volume. This file handle is an opaque object stored on the server's side and is passed along with RPC requests from the client. The NFS server can be restarted without affecting the clients and the cookie remains intact. However, because UDP is stateless, if the server goes down unexpectedly, UDP clients continue to saturate the network with requests for the server.
NFSv4 has no interaction with portmapper, rpc. NFSv4 listens on the well known TCP port which eliminates the need for the portmapper interaction. The mounting and locking protocols have been incorpated into the V4 protocol which eliminates the need for interaction with rpc. UDP can be used for compatibility purposes as needed, but is not recommended for wide usage. Once access is granted, all file and directory operations are available to the user. The NFS initialization script and rpc.
However, this can be error prone if the port is unavailable or conflicts with another daemon. To access the data stored on another machine ie the server , the server will implement an NFS daemon to make the data available to the client. The server administrator determines what is available and ensures that it can identify authenticated clients. On the client-side, the computer usually requests access to the exported data by issuing an installation command.
If successful, the client computer can view the file system and interact with the file system within the determined parameter range. NFSv2 is a standard protocol that has been followed for many years, and its purpose is to achieve simple and fast server crash recovery. This goal is crucial in a network architecture based on multiple clients and single servers, because the moment a server crashes means that all clients are unavailable.
