ESX Hosts Access Denied Mounting Export

GregNOAA — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 14:21:44 GMT

I have an ESXi host that is getting "Access Denied" when attempting to mount to two (2) exports on the same SVM.

Ontap 9.1P6
ESXi 6.0

SVM : vnastore1
Volume : vmware_datastore03
Security Style: Unix
Export Policy : nfs

SVM : vnastore1
Volume : vmware_datastore04
Style : Mixed (not sure why)
Export Policy : nfs

We do have other ESXi hosts mounted to these exports so I'm not sure if the security style is even relevant here.

Export policy : nfs
Client Specification: 10.90.140.0/23
Access Protocols : CIFS, NFS

Access Details :

Read-Only
  UNIX
  Kerberos 5
  Kerberos 5i
  Kerberos 5p
  NTLM

Read-Write
UNIX
  Kerberos 5
  Kerberos 5i
  Kerberos 5p
  NTLM

Allow Superuser Access
