We run z/OS NFS Servers (r1.6) on 3 LPARs and we export and import hundreds of MVS PS data sets to 7 AIX NFS clients and have been doing it for years (more than 6 that I know of). >Is NFS something new in your environment, or is this something that used >to work but now doesn't? As I mentioned above, Serving up MVS data sets to AIX is not new for us. IBM acknowledged at one time that we might be pushing the envelope in the way we use it. One thing that changed significantly: the new AIX servers are close to 3 times faster than the old ones. >Have you recently upgraded/changed anything on the software side - i.e. OS >level? The MVS NFS Server remains the same release level. The AIX NFS clients were upgraded to a newer release and faster pSeries hardware. >Have you checked the Writetimeout setting in your NFS attributes - I think >that it defaults to 30 seconds unless you specify something else (or >Nowritetimeout). I tried adjusting writetimeouts; from 15 to 10 to 5 seconds and back to 10 seconds. Didn't do much of anything for me. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
