Configuring Clustered Data ONTAP for NOSB

To configure the NetApp Clustered Data ONTAP volume to utilize the NFS-based transport method:

1. Using NetApp OnCommand System Manager, configure the SVM that is intended for use with DPX Block Data Protection with a custom DPX export policy with the following attributes set:

   1. clientmatch 0.0.0.0/0

   2. superuser any

   The following are examples:

vserver export-policy create -vserver $VS_NAME –policyname $DPX_EXPORT_POLICY

vserver export-policy rule create -vserver $VS_NAME –policyname $DPX_EXPORT_ POLICY 
-ruleindex 1 -protocol any -clientmatch 0.0.0.0/0 –rorule any 
-rwrule any -anon 65534 -superuser any

1. Using NetApp OnCommand System Manager, configure the NetApp Clustered Data ONTAP volume as follows:

   1. Set the security style to UNIX. Do not select the NTFS security style.

   2. Set the Read/Write/Execute permissions to 0777.

   3. Apply the custom defined DPX export policy configured in the previous step to the export policy for this volume.

   4. Mount the volume at the root of the SVM namespace /.

2. Run the following command in the Clustered Data ONTAP volume command line for the SVM. nfs modify -mount-rootonly disabled -nfs-rootonly disabled -vserver <SVM_NAME> That command is required in order for the NFS mount operation (used by NOSB backup mode NFS client) to succeed from a remote client node where privilege ports may not be used.
