HP-UX 11i June 2001 Release Notes

New and Changed Disk and File Management Features

Network File System Support for TCP/IP (new at 11i original release)

Chapter 9186

nfsstat will now report TCP RPC statistics for both client and server.

The TCP statistics will be under the connection-oriented tag and the

UDP statistics will be under the connectionless-oriented tag.

AutoFS will support the proto= option in the Automounter maps and

will have the same behavior described above under the mount_nfs

command. In the past, this was an invalid option.

Automounter will not support NFS over TCP.

Unlike the 11.0 patch release of NFS over TCP, there is no enablement

ﬂag for NFS over TCP. By default, NFS will attempt to use TCP.

The kernel RPC layer was modiﬁed to support TCP connections over

NFS. A new streams module, rpcmod, was added to manage the TCP

connections. These changes are internal to the NFS implementation and

are not user accessible.
