Deciding whether to use the NFS Reference
This guide describes ONTAP file access features available for the NFS protocol. It shows you how to enable an NFS server and how to export volumes or qtrees. It includes planning guidance and detailed implementation instructions.
You should use this guide under the following circumstances:
You want to understand the range of ONTAP NFS protocol capabilities.
You want to perform less common configuration and maintenance tasks, not basic NFS configuration.
You want to use the command-line interface (CLI), not ThinkSystem Storage Manager for DM Series or an automated scripting tool.
If you want to create a basic configuration using best practices, you should choose among the following documentation:
NFSv3 Configuration Express Guide (basic configuration using ThinkSystem Storage Manager for DM Series)
NFS Configuration Power Guide (advanced configuration using the CLI)
If you require additional configuration or conceptual information, you should choose among the following documentation:
Conceptual background for NFS features
Network and LIF management
Auditing configuration and management using native and external server implementations
