Turning on NFS

[TimmyT]

Hi, So running 9.5 and just wondering about NFS. We currently are using iSCSI but it is proving to be a pain. When I take a look I can see that the NFS service is created and running but no NFS LIFS are found. If I go and create LIFS to associate with NFS will it have an impact on the current iSCSI configuration\performance?

Do you have a seperate NFS SVM/vserver created?  

[TimmyT]

No I don't. From what I can see under the SVMs is that NFS is allowed with CIFS and iSCSI.

They run over IP.  

I would create a seperate NFS SVM,  so you can tinker and not worry about doing anything to your prod iSCSI.   Let me know if you need assist on doing that.

Thanks, I'll go this direction and see how it goes.
