[VMware教學]Increasing the default value that defines the maximum number of NFS mounts on an ESXi/ESX host (2239)

Increasing the default value that defines the maximum number of NFS mounts on an ESXi/ESX host (2239)

By default, for NFS version 3, the advanced parameter NFS.MaxVolumes value is 8. 

For NFS Version 4, the advanced parameter NFS41.MaxVolumes is also set to 8. 

This means that 8 is the maximum number of NFS volumes which can be mounted to an ESXi host by default. 

This can be changed, as VMware supports a maximum of 256 NFS volumes mounted to an ESXi host. 

However, storage array vendors make their own recommendation around this value. 

The recommendations to change the setting varies from storage vendor to storage vendor. 

It is best to check the appropriate documentation from the vendor. 

This is a per ESXi host setting and must be done on all hosts.
