Applies to

ONTAP 9

Answer

  • NFS clients have the ability to use too many storepool resources and cause NFSv4 storepool resource exhaustion
  • Limits can be placed on how many resources an individual client can consume
  • When a client reaches this limit, and is subsequently blocked, the EMS Nblade.nfsV4BlockClient will occur
    • Client blocking is not enabled by default
    • StorePool limit controls and client blocking are only available in ONTAP 9.13.1 or later
