Specifying the NFSv4 locking lease period

To specify the NFSv4 locking lease period (that is, the time period in which ONTAP irrevocably grants a lock to a client), you can modify the -v4-lease-seconds option. Shorter lease periods speed up server recovery while longer lease periods are beneficial for servers handling a very large amount of clients.

About this task

By default, this option is set to 30 . The minimum value for this option is 10 . The maximum value for this option is the locking grace period, which you can set with the locking.lease_seconds option.

  2. Enter the following command: vserver nfs modify -vserver vserver_name -v4-lease-seconds number_of_seconds
