nfs client on isilon
Hello all ,
in Best Practices for Data Replication With EMC ISILON SyncIQ :
Establish reference network performance by using common tools such as Secure Copy (scp) or NFS copy from cluster to cluster.
If I want to test with NFS I m running into the problem that thetre is no nfs client on Isilon (default)
Questions :
- Is there a pkg NFS client which I can install on Isilon
- Is it supported by Isilon (Think it is as it is mentioned in a Best Practice?)
Thx,
Walter

A better choice is iperf, as it is pre-installed on OneFS and measures basic TCP throughput. If iperf is not preferred or allowed, scp or rsync are probably better choices than nfs.
See KB 88844 for instructions how to use iperf.

Hi Mark ,
Thx for the reply.
I wanted to do some testing with also some disk activity. So scp should be a candidate but that 's single threaded.
NFS is multi nodes (well on source) so this would give a more realistic view.
