I am working on the veritas snapshot manager to back up the volume and one of the condition is "The export operation will fail if the volume is attached to the default export policy on NetApp"
But i have all export-policy on netapp set as default and volume is assigned to the same default policy.
Can i create the new export-policy and volume policy from default to "new name" on the fly with out impact on all volumes? If not what is the best way to achieve with out any impact?
#Will the export-policy change on cifs to new policy is impactful?

Since ONTAP 8.3, export-policies have not affected CIFS unless the CIFS SVM option was modied to allow export-policies.
Since 8.3, export-policies, by default, only afftec NFS exports.
If you choose to enable the CIFS SVM option, then the process is:
** get by allow rule in export-policy
** get into share via CIFS Share ACL
It is basically forcing an IP check of a valid host (based on IP) before allowing any attempted access to the share

I really don't get why ONTAP warns you every time about a volume "not being accessible by CIFS because the export-policy contains no rules"... This is a completely incorrect warning that should be removed. It hasn't been true (as TMAC said) for ages...
