This article describes the best practices and recommendations for client-side settings and mounts options when using the Network File System (NFS) protocol to connect to a PowerScale cluster and applies to all supported versions of OneFS.

This article describes Intermittent disconnection to PowerScale nodes' dynamic IPs during rolling reboot or rolling upgrade. This happens due to invalid (old) Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) entries on the client.

This article describes when Flooding Mode and Gratuitous Address Resolution Protocol (GARP) based detection are not enabled. Plus, data-plane learning is not disabled and GARPs are not propagated properly. The results are client disconnects after a node IP movement. This issue covers Cisco Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI).
