I'm trying to get familiar with NFS mounts (I'm familiar with CIFS shares).  In my home lab on 9.4, using System Manager,  I have followed the NFS Configuration Express Guide.  Per the instructions I created a new SVM with an NFS volume and export.  I'm using just the NFS protocol and UNIX security style.  I have a volume called nfsc and a junction of /nfsc_NFS_volume.  I installed Ubuntu version 16 in my lab with IP of 172.23.4.2.  Per express guide I have created an export rule for 0.0.0.0/0 that gives access wide open access - read-only/Read-write/allow superuser access etc.  I also went in the default rule and opened everything up for that rule as well (apparently needed for the root volume).   On the Linux host I have  created a dir called /mnt/folder below.  Then you can see the error I get when trying to mount it with a couple of different mount commands. rondebbs@ubuntu:/$ cd /mnt rondebbs@ubuntu:/mnt$ mkdir /mnt/folder rondebbs@ubuntu:/mnt$ sudo mount -t nfs -o nfsvers=3,hard 172.23.2.13:/nfsc_NFS_volume /mnt/folder mount.nfs: mount to NFS server '172.23.2.13:/nfsc_NFS_volume' failed: RPC Error: Unable to receive rondebbs@ubuntu:/mnt$ rondebbs@ubuntu:/mnt$ sudo mount 172.23.2.13:/nfsc_NFS_volume /mnt/folder mount.nfs: mount to NFS server '172.23.2.13:/nfsc_NFS_volume' failed: RPC Error: Unable to receive rondebbs@ubuntu:/mnt$ From the linux host I can ping the nfsc lif at 172.23.2.13  and from the Netapp command line I can ping the Linux host at 172.23.4.2 but for some reason can not do the mount.  Any ideas what I am doing wrong? ...

Is there any way to create a Cluster Admin login\ role which limits access to specific SVMs only? I would prefer not to have to create multiple configurations on multiple SVMs as the admin overhead would be substantial for both myself as the Cluster admin the the SVMs administrators who would need to perform multiple logons.  ...
