When a request is made for an NFS service, the Services for UNIX NFS server generates a thread to handle the request. Each thread can process one NFS request. A large pool of threads can allow a server to handle more NFS requests in parallel. The number of threads you make available needs to be determined by your performance needs as well as by their impact on other applications running on the system.
To determine the number of threads to make available, use the following formula:
16 + ( 4 × processors )
where processors is the number of additional processors on the NFS server. Using this formula, a dual-processor server typically uses 20 threads. The maximum number of threads is 512.
