Removing an NFS Service
You can remove an NFS service from a global server to both disable the service and
remove its configuration. Use the no form of the
nfs command to remove an
NFS-service configuration from a global server:
no nfs fqdn
where fqdn (1-128 characters) is the fully-qualified domain name (for example,
“www.organization.org”) for the service’s global server.
The CLI prompts for confirmation before removing the service; enter yes to proceed.
For example, the following command sequence removes the NFS-service offering for
athos.nfstest.net:
bstnA6k(gbl)# no nfs athos.nfstest.net
Delete NFS service on 'athos.nfstest.net'? [yes/no] yes
bstnA6k(gbl)#
Changing the NFS/TCP Timeout Behavior
When an NFS/TCP connection to a back-end share times out, the NFS service (by
default) disconnects its front-end client. You can change this default: instead of
disconnecting from the client, the NFS service can send back an NFS I/O error
(NFSERR_IO or NFS3ERR_IO). With the same command, you can reduce the
default time-out period of 105 seconds. From gbl mode, use the
nfs tcp timeout
command to make these changes:
nfs tcp timeout seconds
where seconds (5-104) is the time-out period for NFS/TCP connections.
For example, this command sets the timeout to 30 seconds (and stops disconnecting
clients on timeout):
bstnA6k(gbl)# nfs tcp timeout 30
bstnA6k(gbl)# ...
