You need to ensure that the IP address and subnet for both the control plane and workers are allowed in the export policy on the storage system. This is required to support NFS and SMB migrations using NetApp Data Migrator.
Configure NFS access
For NFS, the control plane and worker nodes need permission to access the storage system as root clients.
-
Perform a manual mount from a worker node to verify volume accessibility:
sudo mount -t nfs <storage-ip>:/<volume-path> /mnt/test ls -la /mnt/test -
Ensure that root access is enabled by verifying that the export policy rule allows superuser access. If necessary, enable root access (no root squash) by modifying the export policy rule.
Configure SMB access
For SMB access, the control plane and worker nodes need permission to access the storage system using the SMB credentials. The SMB user must be part of the Backup operators and Administrators groups.
-
Perform a manual mount from a worker node to verify volume accessibility:
net use Z: \\<storage-ip>\<share> /user:<domain>\<username> <password> -
Join the Windows worker VM to a domain.
Active Directory relies on DNS for domain controller discovery. Before attempting to join a domain, verify that your system can locate the domain controller and that the Windows worker VM is configured to use the Active Directory DNS server.
After DNS is configured, follow the Microsoft documentation to join the Windows worker VM to the domain.
If you encounter any issues during the domain join process, refer to the Microsoft Domain Join troubleshooting documentation.
After configuring network access, review the port requirements.
