Dell PowerStore Configuring Multiprotocol File Sharing

Create an NFS export

You can create an NFS export on a file system.

1. Select the Storage > File Systems > NFS Export tab.
2. Click Create.
   The Create NFS Export wizard launches.
3. Enter the requested information while noting the following:
   • If you want to create an export based on a snapshot, then the snapshots must be created before creating the NFS export.
   • Local Path must correspond to an existing folder name within the file system that was created from the host-side.
   • The value specified in the NFS Export Details, Name field, along with the NAS server IP, constitutes the export path.
     NOTE:You can also mount the export using the NAS server IP and local path.
   • NFS export names must be unique at the NAS server level per protocol. However, you can specify the same name for an SMB share, and NFS exports.
4. Once you approve the settings, click Create NFS Export.
   The NFS Export displays on the NFS Export page.
