Answer

No, there are no major risks associated with performing Storage vMotion between different versions of ONTAP over NFS v3.
Here are the key points to consider:

  • Ensure that both datastores are properly mounted and accessible to the ESXi hosts.
  • Performance variations may occur due to hardware , rather than software differences.
