  • Ontap 9.x
  • NAS

Answer

  • The number of TCP connections per client mount is 1 and 16, this can be checked by using nconnect mount option on host end.
  • The number of slots per TCP connections that Ontap supports is 128 and if a client exceeds this then Ontap starts triggering NFS flow control(nblade.execsOverLimit:error) and pause the client operations until resources are freed up.
