By default, ONTAP sets the range of allowed source ports between 1–1024 (-mount-rootonly). In some cases, this range of port numbers might not be large enough to accommodate the number of clients that are mounting. If more source port numbers are needed, set -mount-rootonly to Disabled and modify the firewall rules to accommodate that change.
