ACE and NFS/SMB

[mb.generali]

Hello All,

Is it possible to loadbalance NFS to two NFS daemons (two virtual servers, share is from raw space on the storage array)?

The same question with SMB, but here answer is probably yes... only one TCP port.

We're using ACE only for http, https and ftp, but new application must be moved to ACE so we look for new possibilities.

Generally speaking we wouldn't recommend NFS LB. The NFS uses multiple daemons/ports for full functionality. So unless sticky based on a L3 criteria like srcip is configured LB wouldn't work properly.

Maybe someone else has more positive information to add, but in general I wouldn't recommend this.
