NFS port mode unsecure

tecnicosibernet — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 13:14:02 GMT

Hello!

We have a problem with NFS acess to NFS volumes to rw to oracle +ASM volumes.

Oracle have told us that we need to publish this NFS v3 as

- no_root_squash

- insecure

We do not have matters with no_root_sqash.

Our problem is on "insecure" mode, which allows every RPC request, not only from default allowed if they come from a privileged source port (<1024).

How do we activate insecure mode?

Thanks

Hi there!

Insecure functionality is activated by running "vserver nfs modify -vserver vservername -mount-rootonly disabled" and "vserver nfs modify -vserver vservername -nfs-rootonly disabled" on the vserver serving NFS for Oracle.

Hope this helps!

Hi Alex! Superb!

Thanks a lot for the replay!

It seems it will work, it just what we were looking for the server.

Thanks again!
