  • ONTAP 9

  • NFS
  • Auditing

Answer

  • ONTAP can audit all writes consistently.
    • Auditing every write operation can be very resource-intensive and have a significant impact on system performance
Therefore, in most configurations of ONTAP, it only audits the first write operation. This is referred to as First Read / First Write
