• A speed mismatch occurs when the cluster ports on different nodes have different speeds, such as 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps1.
• A speed mismatch can cause packet loss, retransmits, and latency on the cluster network, especially when data is accessed indirectly, meaning that the node serving the data is different from the node hosting the LIF2.
• In this scenario, the AFF A300 nodes have 10 Gbps cluster ports, while the AFF A700 nodes have 40 Gbps cluster ports, creating a speed mismatch on the cluster interconnect34.
• The Cisco Nexus 3132Q cluster interconnect switches support both 10 Gbps and 40 Gbps cluster ports, but they have a shallow buffer size of 9 MB per port, which can be easily overwhelmed by the bursty traffic generated by the speed mismatch.
• To solve this problem, you need to either upgrade the cluster ports on the AFF A300 nodes to 40 Gbps, or downgrade the cluster ports on the AFF A700 nodes to 10 Gbps, to achieve a homogeneous cluster interconnect1.
• Alternatively, you can use QoS policies to limit the bandwidth of the cluster ports to avoid oversubscription and congestion on the cluster interconnect. References:

• The error message indicates that the ONTAP Select Deploy VM cannot connect to the vCenter server due to a network issue1.
• One possible cause of this issue is that the IP address of the ONTAP Select Deploy VM is conflicting with another device on the same network2.
• To correct this problem, you need to change the IP address of the ONTAP Select Deploy VM to a unique and valid address that can reach the vCenter server2.
• You can change the IP address of the ONTAP Select Deploy VM by using the Deploy web interface or the Deploy CLI2.
• After changing the IP address, you need to restart the Deploy services and re-add the vCenter server to the inventory2. References:

• NFSv4 is a network file system protocol that supports security, performance, and scalability features. NFSv4 uses ID mapping to ensure that the permissions of files and directories are consistent across different NFSv4 servers and clients1
• ID mapping is the process of translating the user and group identifiers (UIDs and GIDs) of the local system to the user and group names (user@domain and group@domain) of the remote system, and vice versa. ID mapping is done by the idmapd service, which uses the /etc/idmapd.conf file to determine the domain name of the system2
• ID mapping requires that the NFSv4 server and client have the same domain name configured in the /etc/idmapd.conf file. If the domain names do not match, the idmapd service cannot map the UIDs and GIDs to the user and group names, and the permissions of the files and directories will be shown as nobody:nobody, which is the default anonymous user3
• Therefore, if a customer enabled NFSv4.0 on an SVM and changed the client mount from NFSv3 to NFSv4, and found that the directory owner was changed from root to nobody, the most likely cause is that the ID mapping domains do not match between the client and server. The customer should check and correct the /etc/idmapd.conf file on both systems, and restart the idmapd service and remount the NFSv4 share4
