One NFS share need to get export as option as INSECURE to have a solution work in Oracle DB.
The oracle document says:
Reserved Port configuration:
Some NFS file servers require NFS clients to connect using reserved ports. If a file server is running with reserved port-checking, it must be disabled for DNFS to operate.
But man server_export doesn't have option to export as INSECURE in server_export.
can some one help me how to include INSECURE option, for server_export
I believe all you need is the param "transChecksum". This option is what enabled support for DNFS on Celerra by ensuring the data mover uses a unique ID for each transaction so you avoid conflicting IDs that result from reuse of relinquished ports..
Do enable this log into the cli and give this a whirl to check it's current setting:
server_param server_X -facility nfs -list
We need it to be enabled (1)... to do that you simple:
This change will simply make the datamover support DNFS. It shouldn't have any impact on NFS shares which aren't for DNFS, but it is datamover wide. I can't recall if it requires a reboot, it will tell you after you change the param. You won't need to change your server exports at all.
I found this blurb:
"Specifies whether the Data Mover supports Oracle Direct NFS (DNFS) for clients that use Oracle Database 11g with NFSv3. When support is enabled, the Data Mover ensures that each transaction carries a unique ID and avoids the possibility of conflicting IDs that result from the reuse of relinquished ports. "
The paramater secureExportMode just tells the datamover how to deal with conflicts between read-only and read-write exports with more than one netgroup. Basically if you create a read only export for netgroup X and a read write export for the same netgroup X this setting depermins which one wins.
If it's set to 0 it will allow read-write access. If it's set to 1 it will only access read-only.

It is actually a param mount.checkport and the default should be ok
I think there is also a white paper about DFNS on Powerlink with more info
