Issue

  • When provisioning a traditional NFS/NFSv4.1 datastore, OTV selects the NFS server IP using datastore-service GetNfsServerIp(), which returns the first ONTAP LIF advertising data_nfs, with no filtering for:
    • OTV IP whitelist configuration
    • Admin vs dedicated data LIF
    • LIF home / up status
    • ONTAP service/firewall policy suitability
  • The OTV IP whitelist (configured in OTV Manager) only affects export-policy client-match in nfs-service, it does not influence which LIF is used as the NFS mount target.
