Claim:
1. A method comprising: establishing a connection between an NFS client and a source cluster, wherein the source cluster is associated with a first static internet protocol (“IP”) address and a dynamic IP address, wherein the connection is an NFS connection associated with an NFS export, and an access zone, wherein the NFS export is associated with a set of source files and directories, wherein the set of source files and directories are associated with an FSID; wherein files and directories among the set of source files and directories are associated with a unique source logical mode (“LIN”); establishing a connection between the source cluster and a target cluster, wherein the target cluster is associated with a second static IP address; syncing the source cluster with the target by: triggering a failover of client from the source cluster to the target cluster, wherein the triggering disconnects the client from the source cluster; assigning the dynamic IP address to the target cluster; and establishing a connection between the NFS client and the target cluster based on the dynamic IP address, wherein establishing the connection does not include mounting the NFS export on the target cluster.
