  • 1.  AIX Support for NFS 4.1

    Posted Mon August 16, 2021 12:48 PM
    Does AIX support NFS 4.1? This is from a client perspective.
    I'm connecting to an NFS server which requires NFS 4.1.
    When attempting to connect from AIX I receive a generic error "vmount: invalid argument" which I suspect is due to a mismatch in NFS version.
    I am able to connect via a Linux host using NFS 4.1 so I'm certain the NFS server is up and properly configured and reachable.

    Thanks!

    That's encouraging.
    Is there a way to determine the version of the client that's currently installed?
    I'm running 7200-03-02-1846.

    Also, I couldn't find a way to specify to use 4.1 versus 4. The vers option takes an integer and there is no minorversion option like on Linux.
