About the 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.

Table of Contents:
List of Figures. List of Tables. List of Key Ideas and NFS Performance Examples. List of NFS Differences Between HP-UX 11.0 and 11i. Acknowledgements. Introduction. 1. Network Considerations. Analyze Network Layout. Measure Network Throughput Capabilities. Network Troubleshooting Tools. 2. Local Filesystem Considerations. Analyze Filesystem Layout. Measure Filesystem Throughput Capabilities. Local Filesystem Recommendations. 3. biod Daemons. How Do the biods Work? Why Not Just Launch Hundreds of biods? When Might an NFS Client Not Benefit from biods? How Many biods Should Your NFS Client Run? Troubleshooting the biod Daemons. 4. nfsd Daemons and Threads. What Are the Various “nfsd” Daemons and Threads? NFS Server UDP Daemon Management. NFS Server TCP Thread Management. How Many nfsds Should Your NFS Server Run? Troubleshooting the nfsd Daemons and Threads. 5. rpc.mountd. What Services Does rpc.mountd Provide? What Factors Influence rpc.mountd Performance? Troubleshooting rpc.mountd. 6. rpc.lockd and rpc.statd. How Do rpc.lockd and rpc.statd Handle NFS Lock Requests? How Do rpc.lockd and rpc.statd Perform Lock Recovery? Examining NFS File Locks. Avoiding NFS File Lock Hangs in Your Environment. Why Would Restarting the Daemons Clear a Lock Hang? Ensuring Optimal NFS File Locking Performance. Troubleshooting rpc.lockd and rpc.statd. 7.

How Do Dynamic and Static Buffer Cache Mechanisms Differ? Should You Configure a Dynamic or Static Buffer Cache? Interaction with the syncer(1M) Daemon. Automounter's Influence on Client Caching. How Much Buffer Cache Memory Should You Configure? Measuring Buffer Cache Effectiveness. 12. Kernel Parameters. Tunable Kernel Parameter List. Inspecting Kernel Parameter Settings. Monitoring Kernel Parameter Values via GlancePlus. Appendix A. Summary of Tuning Recommendations. NFS Client and Server Daemons. Supported NFS Kernel Parameters. Undocumented NFS Kernel Parameters. NFS Mount and Exportfs Options. Appendix B. Patching Considerations. Performance-Enhancing Defect Fixes. Performance-Enhancing New Functionality. Patching Dependent Subsystems.
