interface ip & host access

HI,

i have question regrading nfs share and interface. right now i have VNX 5300 and configured one interface with ip 172.20.0.50  my aix host is in the same 172.20.0.X Vlan and im able to mount the NFS share without any problem. my question is can i mount new nfs share using the same interface to new aix host but the host is in different Vlan(10.1.3.X) or i need to create new interface in the same (10.1.3.X) Vlan ???

    as long as there is routing between 172.20.0.x and 10.1.3.x then of course. If you can ping 172.20.0.50 from 10.1.3.x subnet that should give you a clue. Another way to test is from the datamover itself try to ping 10.1.3.x subnet gateway (10.1.3.1 ..or whatever your company uses). Also make sure you have a default gateway defined on your datamover

    Of course going through a router might be slower than creating an additional interface on the data mover for this VLAN

    Depends on your network

    thanks for the reply.  im able to ping from datamover  using interface 172.20.0.50 to any host in the same VLAN but im not able to ping from datamover using interface 172.20.0.50 to different Vlan(10.1.3.X) .

    from client side(10.1.3.X) i can ping to interface successfully  .

    is this normal behavior ???

    Probably yes

    Access depends on your existing export options – please see the “Managing NFS on VNX” manual to lean how NFS export options work

    just to be more clear to me once the host be able to ping the interface the nfs share will be able mount in the host? is it correct?

    and i have to export the nfs and add the host in the host access ?
