ONTAP can perform an optional additional validation of qtree IDs. This validation ensures that client file operation requests use a valid qtree ID and that clients can only move files within the same qtree. You can enable or disable this validation by modifying the -validate-qtree-export parameter. This parameter is enabled by default.
