NFS ObjectStore Versioning Rules

If you created a share with the versioning option, and then change the option to not use versioning, then the following rules apply:

  • The software disables versioning for the share, and the software does not create a version when the share content changes.

  • Users can access the different versions that the software created before versioning was disabled.

  • The share supports NFSV3 clients.

  • If a user edits a file with the vi editor, the Commvault software only retains the latest version because the vi editor discards the older versions of the files.

If you created a share without versioning, and then change the option to use versioning, then the following rules apply:

  • The software enables versioning for the share and creates a new version of the file every time that the file is opened for a write.

  • The share only supports NFSV4 clients.

  • The share will no longer support NFSV3 clients.
