Configuring and Performing Appliance Data Backups
Mode 770 works only for MARS Appliances running the same software generation (4.x or 5.x). Use 775
Note
to support a mixed environment of 4.x to 5.3.x software and when performing migrations from 4.x to
5.3.x. Due to difference of UID/GID between the 4.x to 5.x releases, you must allow r-x so an appliance
running 5.3.x can import from files exported by a 4.x appliance.
In the /etc/exports file, add the following line:
Step 3
Restart the NFS service.
Step 4
Configure the NetApp NFS Server
The NetApp NFS server differs from other Linux/UNIX NFS servers in that NetApp restricts the
