Hi Brian,

Number of NFS daamons used by Data OnTAP on any NetApp filer is, and has always been, exactly zero.

Note on all NetApp specsfs submissions (www.spec.org/sfs97r1):

"NetApp's embedded operating system processes NFS requests from the network layer without any NFS daemons, and uses non-volatile memory to improve performance."

Data OnTAP is not Unix, and is not even "based on" any particular Unix, despite a large number of CLI similarities. The microkernal is developed from the ground up as special-purpose. (i.e. this is not a "stripped down" or modified Linux or FreeBSD product like so many others out there). So you can't directly apply many Unix considerations for performance management to Data OnTAP.

Does anyone has a figure of max number of NFS deamons supported in a FAS270c.

Need to increase number of BOID's in an AIX box. does anyone already have figures of BOID's & NFSD's in a FAS270c with Ontap 7.0.4 with IBM p570 AIX 5.3ML4 or an idea about a max supported figures in terms of max I/O performance for a NAS hosted Oracle 9i database.

Thanks Brian.
