Unable to write on a mounted NFS Datastore !

Hello!!

I have a mounted NFS volume to a couple of servers, and both of them are facing this issue. We are unable to upload/write anything to DS - and getting the following error -

"File Operation Failed"

(screenshot attached)

Tried remounting the store.

Checked permissions, user accounts etc.

Netapp has checked from their end - as per them "no WRITE CALL is reaching NetApp controller as the operation is probably getting failed at VMware end itself thus giving us error “ file operation failed “

We can also see few files present in the DS with size as "zero" !!

Can someone please suggest what can be done here ?

How exactly did you share the NFS LUN on the Netapp filer?

You may need to configure "root" permissions in addition to "rw".
