Is NFS server on Aix4.1.1 optimized for SMP architecture ?
in fact, is it multithreaded ?
ANSWER
The NFS Server is what we call MP Efficient, meaning
it will benefit from the SMP. The client is
MP Safe, which means it will run in an SMP environment,
but is not optomized for MP.
AIX V4.1 supports multithreads, however, "RPC servers are
single threaded: meaning that there is one server process
for the RPC service, and it executes remote requests from
all clientsone at a time. To achieve better performance,
two or more copies of the same RPC server server may be
started, but each server instance still handles only one
request at a time." .reference O'Reilly and Associates
'Managing NFS and NIS' p.15.
