You can modify the nfs server:
[-tcp-max-xfer-size <integer>] - TCP Maximum Transfer Size
(bytes) (privilege: advanced)

This optional parameter specifies the maximum transfer size (in bytes) that
the storage system negotiates with the client for TCP transport of data for
NFSv3 and NFSv4.x protocols. The range is 8192 to 1048576
Setting to the max of 1048576 will allow the client to be set to the same

If your nfs client supports it, you can use =E2=80=9Cnconnect=E2=80=9D set =
to 4 to also help

 I think is that NFSv4.1 is stateful and on a head fail-over, this state go=
