An administrator created, a NAS storage virtual machine for a vSphere environment. The administrator verified that all interfaces can communicate successfully.
However, when the administrator attempts to mount the export, a connection refuse message is received.
Based on this scenario, what would you troubleshoot?
When encountering a 'connection refuse' message while attempting to mount an export in a vSphere environment, the focus should be on the NFS export policy. Mounting exports is specific to NFS (Network File System), and issues with the export policy can prevent successful mounting. CIFS, typically used for SMB shares, and FC zoning are not involved in the export process for NFS. Therefore, troubleshooting the NFS export policy is the most logical step to resolve the issue.
I guess the key is "mount the export"... igroup+FC = SAN CIFS don't need an export policy afaik So there is only NFS left... C
ans is C
C is correct https://www.netapp.com/us/media/tr-4597.pdf --> page 4
only NFS support "to mount the export" task hence answer is C
