Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • NFS 4.1, 4.2

Issue

  • Mount attempts that use NFS 4.1 or 4.2 are denied access

mount -t nfs -o ro,nolock,nfsvers=4.2 10.100.100.10:/vol1 /mountpoint
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 10.100.100.10:/vol1

  • When the NFS version is not specified, the highest available NFS (e.g. 4.2) version is used, and access is denied

mount -t nfs -o ro,nolock 10.100.100.10:/vol1 /mountpoint
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 10.100.100.10:/vol1
