Hi
i think you covered most of the configuration basics. but i can't see a fault in it.
You can use "vserver security trace" command to see why the filer deny the request (if it does).if it's not - a tcpdump from the client. or pktt from the filer will show a bit more.
other than that we missing a few more outputs in regard to permissions, a few output that i had in mind while looking on it:
vserver nfs show -fields access,name-service-lookup-protocol,mount-rootonly,default-win-user,v4.0-acl,nfs-rootonly vserver security file-directory show -path /sim_test -vserver sim1 vserver export-policy rule show qtree show -fields security-style,qtree-path,export-policy
