Is NFS export policy required during SVM creation?
Applies to
ONTAP System Manager (OSM)
Answer
- Although NFS is selected during SVM creation, the creation of an export policy is optional and not fully described to the user.
- If export policy is not created, it will not be able to mount any volumes via NFS
- It was unable to successfully mount a volume as NFS datastore on VMware because the export policies were not active and troubleshooting from System Manager was not possible. CLI was used to fix this issue.
- If export policy creation is not configured, there should be a prominent warning
Note: Ensure the default policy does not have any client rules while using System Manager
