Optimizing NFS Performance: Tuning and Troubleshooting (Hewlett-Packard Professional Books) Book

This book is a comprehensive guide to understanding how the various components of the NFS product family work together on HP-UX systems and how to configure each of them for optimal performance. Networked File System (NFS) has been the industry standard protocol for remote file access on the Unix operating system platform for many years. It has become a critical component to every flavor of Unix, as well as non-Unix based operating systems. Currently, there is very little information available that describes how to tune NFS for performance. What little information that is available always seems to concentrate on the NFS server, all but ignoring the NFS client. More specifically, there are no books available that describe HP's implementation of NFS in any way. The storage market is shifting focus from directly attached storage to a network attached storage model. This book contains dozens of previously undocumented tuning tips and provides detailed instructions for troubleshooting each NFS client and server component.Read More
