Create an NFS export
Use this procedure to create an NFS export on a file system that is created with an NFS-enabled NAS server.
Prerequisites
Create snapshots before creating the NFS export.
Steps
- Click .
-
Click
+ Create NFS Export.
The Create NFS Export wizard appears.
-
Enter the information and note the following:
- 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 name, constitutes the name by which hosts access the export.
- 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.
-
Approve the settings, and click
Create NFS Export.
The NFS export displays on the NFS Export page.
