Network and Storage Protocols
Network and Storage Protocols
Hey guys,
we want to connect a WindowsServer 2019 with a nfs-share. We can see the nfs-share within the WindowsServer. But we have no write-access to it. We are not sure wich parameter we should set, to get write access.
Also tried to create a volume with security-Style ntfs instead of unix wasn't helpful. Seems that a minimal configuration error is stopping us. Is someone able to help? Want to store backupdata for Commvault (mediaagent) there, which cannot be backuped by IntelliSnap.

Why can't you use SMB for this?
If you require Windows NFS, you'd need to enable the export policy rule to allow writes.
I cover Windows NFS here in TR-4067:
Security style just covers how you want to handle permissions.
If you want UNIX perms, use UNIX security style. NFS users will use a UID/GID to gain access based on how you set the volume permissions.
If you want Windows perms, use NTFS. Then the user will need to map to a valid Windows user.
This blog also covers it.

The security style is Unix and still some parameters need to be changed.
Enable access for Windows NFS clients
I understand that CIFS for Windows will work more efficient here as the ONTAP 9 and above will allow to create CIFS server in ONTAP without joining the CIFS server to a domain.
