How to Deactivate NFS Services
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- NFS
Description
- This article provides step-by-step instructions to deactivate NFS services on a SVM and clean up associated resources such as volumes, LIFs, and the SVM itself.
- This process is useful when NFS is no longer required on a specific SVM, and you want to ensure a clean decommissioning.
- Disabling the NFS service on a vserver that uses CIFS should not cause any disruption to CIFS clients accessing the vserver. NFS and CIFS are separate protocols and disabling one should not impact the functionality of the other, if there are no dependencies or configurations that link the two services
