Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • NFSv4

Answer

  • There is a possibility of seeing impact during modification of -v4-id-domain based on how the client and ONTAP send credentials while modifying the option.
    • If either ONTAP or the client send credentials as a name, and the -v4-id-domain is mismatched, the name will not be resolved and will be squashed to nobody.
    • This can make operations like chown fail.
    • This can result in UID and GID being listed as NOBODY when mounting with NFSv4, but, the proper UID and GID are seen when mounting with NFSv3
  • It is not expected to have any impact after configuring both ONTAP and all clients the same -v4-id-domain setting.
