PowerStore storage supports NFSv3 through NFSv4.1, including secure NFS.
While PowerStore supports most of the NFSv4 and NFSv4.1 capabilities, directory delegation and parallel NFS (known as pNFS) are not supported. Therefore, do not configure Oracle to use pNFS.
Note: pNFS and dNFS are different. pNFS refers to a protocol to access an NFS server, while dNFS refers to a driver built into the Oracle Disk Manager (ODM).
