Create NFS servers

Create an NFS server.

Syntax

powerflex_cli nfs-servers create [parameters]

Parameters

-h, --help
Help for creating NFS servers.
--host_name [string]
The name that is used by NFS clients to connect to this NFS server. This name is required when using secure NFS, except when is_use_smb_config_enabled is true. In this case host_name is forced to the SMB server computer name, and must not be specified.
--credentials_cache_TTL [int32]
Sets the time-to-live (in minutes) expiration time in minutes for a Windows entry in the credentials cache. When failed mapping entries expire, the system retries mapping the UID to the SID.
--is_extended_credentials_enabled [string]
Indicates whether the NFS server supports more than 16 Unix groups in a UNIX credential. Valid values are:
  • True—NFS server supports more than 16 Unix groups in a UNIX credential. The NFS server sends additional request to UNIX Directory service to identify UNIX groups.
  • False—NFS server supports more than 16 Unix groups in a UNIX credential. The NFS server sends additional request to UNIX Directory service to identify UNIX groups.
NOTE:The NFS server builds its own Unix credential when it supports more than 16 groups. This process can slow performance.
--is_nfsv3_enabled [string]
Indicates whether NFSv3 is enabled on the PowerFlex file node. When enabled, NFS shares can be accessed with NFSv3. When disabled, NFS shares can not be accessed with NFSv3 protocol. Valid values are:
  • True—NFSv3 is enabled on the specified PowerFlex file node.
  • False—NFSv3 is disabled on the specified PowerFlex file node.
--is_nfsv4_enabled [string]
Indicates whether NFSv4 is enabled on the PowerFlex file node. When enabled, NFS shares can be accessed with NFSv4. When disabled, NFS shares can not be accessed with NFSv4 protocol. Valid values are:
  • True—NFSv4 is enabled on the specified PowerFlex file node.
  • False—NFSv4 is disabled on the specified PowerFlex file node.
--is_secure_enabled [string]
Indicates whether secure NFS is enabled on the NFS server. Valid values are:
True—Secure NFS is Enabled.
False—Secure NFS is disabled.
--is_use_smb_config_enabled [string]
Indicates whether SMB authentication is used to authenticate to the KDC. Values are:
  • True—Indicates that the configured SMB server settings are used for Kerberos authentication.
  • False—Indicates that Kerberos uses its own settings.
--nas_server_id [string]
Unique identifier of the PowerFlex file node.
--session name [string]
