RE: NFS over TCP on v5r4?

The *UDP connection on port 2049 should be your NFS daemon. Do an 8 to display the job and you should see QNFSNFSD.

IIRC the System i NFS implementation is version 2. I could be wrong, it's been awhile and I haven't verified this lately.

Can you force the client to use V2 for the mount?

Subject: NFS over TCP on v5r4?

hi,
I activated nfs service via STRNFSSVR *ALL on v5r4 in order to present a
share of some IFS directories to remote linux machine.
Linux machine(ubuntu client) was not able to mount it. I also tried the
same operation from vmware ESXi client which returns the following: "NFS
Error: Unable to Mount filesystem: The NFS server does not support MOUNT
version 3 over TCP."
doing rpcinfo -p as400.local.com gives:

back to v5r4 machine, netstat *cnn gives no tcp port 2049!

..There is no nfs over tcp!

Is nfs over tcp supported in v5r4 ?
