HPE VME NFS Storage Topology

Key Design Principles

  • Dedicated storage network: for NFS traffic (separate VLAN or physical network)

  • MTU 9000 (jumbo frames): end-to-end for optimal throughput

  • NFSv3 required: NFSv4.1 causes permission failures due to ID mapping mismatches

    See KB0023642.

  • Sync exports: for data integrity with VM storage

  • Proper export permissions: for all cluster hosts and VME Manager
