This KB details different scenarios of connection sharing with NFS41 mounts
VMware vSphere ESXi 6.x
VMware vSphere ESXi 7.x
VMware vSphere ESXi 8.x
server_owner
which is a combination of server_major
and server_minor
and uniquely identifies a server in a cluster.server_owner
and associates the TCP connection with the session.1. Example with one path:esxcli storage nfs41 add -H IP1 -v share1 -s share1
esxcli storage nfs41 add -H IP1 -v share2 -s share2
In the above example,"share2
" will use the same TCP connection created as part of mounting "share1
"
2. Example with multipathing:esxcli storage nfs41 add -H IP1, IP2 -v share1 -s share1
esxcli storage nfs41 add -H IP1 -v share2 -s share2
In the above example,"share2
" will use both the TCP connections, IP1 and IP2, created as part of mounting "share1
"
3. Examples with nConnect:esxcli storage nfs41 add -H IP1 -v share1 -s share1 -c 2
esxcli storage nfs41 add -H IP1 -v share2 -s share2
In the above example,"share2
" will use both the TCP connections, created as part of mounting "share1
"
esxcli storage nfs41 add -H IP1 -v share2 -s share2 -c 2
In the above example,"share2
" will use the two existing TCP connections created as part of mounting "share1"
i.e. no new connections are created
Note: "nConnect" is available only from 8.0 U3b
