Contributors netapp-aherbin netapp-aaron-holt

Beginning with ONTAP 9.14.1, by default, ONTAP supports the ability of NVMe/FC hosts to identify virtual machines by a unique identifier and for NVMe/FC hosts to monitor virtual machine resource utilization. This enhances host-side reporting and troubleshooting.

You can use the bootarg to disable this functionality. See the Knowledge Base article How to disable NVMe host virtual machine identifier in ONTAP.
