  • ONTAP 9

Answer

  • The maximum value for a UID is 4294967295 and UID is a 32-bit value.2^32-1 is 4294967295,since UIDs start at 0, the range is 0 to 4294967295
  • ONTAP has a maximum limit of 10-digit UID values.
  • If you attempt to create a Unix local user in ONTAP with a UID value exceeding 10 digits, it will not be supported.
  • To ensure compatibility and adherence to ONTAP's UID limit, you would need to assign a UID value that is within the range of 0 to 9999999999 (10 digits) for Unix local users in ONTAP.
