NFSv4 - what does "-option addservice=nfs" do?
In the Configuring NFS for VNX doc under "configure secure NFS" there is a section that says to "Add the NFS service to the server previously joined to the Windows domain". What exactly does this option do? Lets say we already have CIFS servers on the domain but none of them have this nfs service added. What are the implications of running that command?
The goal is to convert existing NFSv3 shares to v4 and use existing CIFS servers alread in the domain to be the KDC communicators.
thanks

And to clarify, I'm just looking to understand why the command is a "join" instead of just adding the "service" to an existing CIFS server. The man page says it makes it possible for NFS users to access Windows Kerberos DC. It just doesn't appear intuitive and reads like it is going to do something to AD when you join the account.
