Warning about nfs

adakatsu — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 10:01:13 GMT

Initial construction with Ontap 9.9.1.
After creating the SVM and setting the Lif, I enabled NFS.
At that time, the following message was displayed on the NFS protocol setting screen of the Storage VM on the management Web screen.
"The client cannot access the NFS service because the network interface could not be created."
What could be the cause?

Thanks

Hello @adakatsu

When you refer to created an SVM, are you referring to creating a Data SVM?

Did you create an NFS SVM as well?

Are you using the GUI or cmd to perform the setup?

You can check the link below for setting up via GUI:

Thanks

Hello @adakatsu

As mentioned by @hmoubara, This sounds like a misconfiguration.

Can you provide the output to the following commands?:

::>vserver show -vserver <vserver name> -inst

::>net int show -vserver <vserver name> -lif <lif name> -inst

@adakatsu is mentioning 9.9.1

System Manager Classic was discontinued in 9.8... (your link)

Also mentioned the "Web Screen", so I guess using the "new" RESTful API based System Manager.

A screen shot of the "Wizard" before completion might be helpful, to find out why the LIF was not created.

In addition to the commands mentioned by @aladd you might want to check

::> net port show

(I do not expect the NFS LIF to appear the the "net int show" list, since apparently it was not created...)

Hi aladd

Thank you very much.
It was my mistake setting.
I couldn't configure NFS because I created the SVM before applying the NFS license.

Thanks
