Why does ONTAP initiate a connection on a port other than 4045 for for NLM callbacks?
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- UNIX or UNIX-like operating system
- NFSv3
- Network Lock Manager (NLM)
Answer
In some environments port 4045 is blocked on the network (i.e. firewall) therefore ONTAP will use the port established by portmapper
