It is. Working as designed. That's my take on this. Meaning: if you misunderstand things a bit and design your network around the cluster intended to run and leverage pNFS in such a way that doesn't make sense really, you'll have to turn pNFS off and then it'll work again for the clients. Back to the drawing board, re-design the network e.g. move your LIFs around so that they're all in the same VLAN (subnet). We don't run pNFS anywhere, but that's the customary way we do it for our very large clusters (our biggest is a 20-node now, in refresh state b/w 5 y old FAS8080 and new A800) in any case, since many years. And *everything*, all NFS traffic, always goes across at least one L3 hop. Nothing else, no NFS clients!, are allowed in the VLANs where our LIFs sit. That way we "own" that VLAN completely and can control it in a good fashion.
BTW: Wow. A several years old RFE from *you* who hasn't been implemented yet. Not much demand for it then I'd say
/M

Wow...Thanks Justin. I guess that was possibly an oversight when developed (and hence the RFE)? --tmac
