Answer

  • When "Enable NFSv3 EJUKEBOX error" (-ejukebox-enable) is true and "Enable the Dropping of a Connection When an NFSv3 Request is Dropped" (-v3-connection-drop) is enabled, ONTAP responds to the RPC request with NFS3ERR_JUKEBOX, and the client retries the RPC request with a new RPC transaction ID after a short wait
    • In rare cases where ONTAP is unable to respond, the NFS server may close the connection instead of responding with NFS3ERR_JUKEBOX
  • When "Enable NFSv3 EJUKEBOX error" (-ejukebox-enable) is false and "Enable the Dropping of a Connection When an NFSv3 Request is Dropped" (-v3-connection-drop) is enabled, ONTAP drops the response and closes the connection, and the client reconnects after a few seconds to retry the RPC request
  • When "Enable NFSv3 EJUKEBOX error" (-ejukebox-enable) is false and "Enable the Dropping of a Connection When an NFSv3 Request is Dropped" (-v3-connection-drop) is disable, ONTAP drops the response but does not close the connection, causing the client to timeout the RPC request and retransmit it
    • Note: Depending on the client, this may take a few minutes
