Description of problem: We need to set below options in our ganesha.config file as default parameters In “NFS_Core_Param” - 1) /* Whether to use the supplied name rather than the IP address in NSM operations. Settable with NSM_Use_Caller_Name. */ NSM_Use_Caller_Name = true; 2) /* to copy lock states into '/var/lib/nfs/ganesha' directory instead of '/var/lib/nfs/ganesha/node*' dir */ Clustered = false Also we have seen other issue while testing recovery - Clientids are created in /var/lib/nfs/ganesha/node* directory. It was not the case before. Will debug it and check if it is configurable as well.
