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.

Verify NFS access

For NFS, the control plane and worker nodes need permission to access the storage system as root clients.

Steps

  1. 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

  2. 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.

Verify 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.

Step

  1. Perform a manual mount from a worker node to verify volume accessibility:

    net use Z: \\<storage-ip>\<share> /user:<domain>\<username> <password>
