AIX 7.3 Network Configuration

Question

A system administrator is responsible for managing a network of AIX systems using NFS v3 for file sharing. A client reports that accessing files on the NFS-mounted directory is significantly slower than expected. Upon investigation, they realize that the network traffic shows high latency and packet loss. They need to decide on an approach to optimize NFS performance given the observed network conditions. Which step would they take to improve NFS v3 performance?

Options

  • ASwitch from UDP to TCP for NFS traffic
  • BUse a different file system instead of NFS for network file sharing
  • CAdjust the RPC protocol settings to reduce data conversion overhead
  • DEnsure that both client and server use the same XDR data type representation
