ONTAP includes file access features available for the NFS protocol. You can enable an NFS server and export volumes or qtrees.

You perform these procedure under the following circumstances:

  • You want to understand the range of ONTAP NFS protocol capabilities.

  • You want to perform less common configuration and maintenance tasks, not basic NFS configuration.

  • You want to use the command-line interface (CLI), not System Manager or an automated scripting tool.
