How does an SVM in ONTAP 9.11.1P14 determine which NFS LIF will serve data for an NFS mount? I have two NFS LIF's per SVM but the NFS Clients all are hitting a single LIF for data access. I am concerned could cause a bottleneck.

are you using a single IP to access the system? is DNS only pointing to one and not using any form of round robin/etc?

if you connect all clients to the same IP, then this IP will serve all the NFS traffic. You need to either use DNS load balancing (or manual loadbalancing by mounting distinct IPs), or use pNFS which can "redirect" clients to different LIFs. Normal NFS does no redirects
