NFS 4.1 multipathing

[FrankWest]

Hi,

during the RC stage of Ontap 9.12.1 it was mentioned that it finally supported NFS 4.1 multipathing. However, now that 9.12.1 has been released I can’t find NFS 4.1 multipathing support in the release notes.

Am I missing something?

Please file a doc feedback. https://docs.netapp.com/us-en/ontap-cli-9121//vserver-nfs-modify.html#parameters it's here in 9.12. Not sure why it's not in the release notes.

Hi,

I got a reply from the documentation team. They state:

NFSv4.1 session trunking is expected to be released as a General Availability feature of ONTAP 9.12.1 in an upcoming patch release. The ONTAP 9 Release Notes will be updated to include this feature at that point.

I don’t know why this is marked as accepted solution, but according to Netapp it’s not in 9.12.1, it will be an available in a patch release later.

Hi,

Thanks, I submitted the feedback. But how about this:

https://kb.netapp.com/Advice_and_Troubleshooting/Data_Storage_Software/ONTAP_OS/ESXi_NFS4.1_VMDK_inaccessible_after_takeover#

is this still valid for 9.12.1? In here NetApp states you shouldn’t use NFS 4.1 with ESXi at the current time.
