  • 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.

    Hi Dan, AIX does not support the NFS 4.1 protocol. It supports the initial NFS 4.0 version described by RFC 3010, which was later replaced by 3530.
