Before using ONTAP tools for VMware vSphere to provision NFS volumes on an ONTAP based storage system for ESXi hosts, enable NFS using System Manager for ONTAP 9.7 or later.
After creating an NFS-enabled storage VM in System Manager, you then provision NFS volumes and manage datastores using ONTAP tools for VMware vSphere.
Be sure to check the NetApp Interoperability Matrix to confirm compatibility between your current ONTAP and ONTAP tools for VMware vSphere releases.
To set up NFS access for ESXi hosts to datastores using System Manager Classic (for ONTAP 9.7 and earlier releases), see NFS configuration for ESXi overview
For more information, see TR-4597: VMware vSphere for ONTAP and the ONTAP tools for VMware vSphere documentation.
