Export a file system using the CLI
To export a file system from the CLI, use the ibrix_exportfs command:
ibrix_exportfs -f FSNAME -h HOSTNAME -p CLIENT1:PATHNAME1,CLIENT2:PATHNAME2,..
[-o "OPTIONS"] [-b]
The options are as follows:
Description Option
The file system to be exported. –f FSNAME
The file serving node containing the file system to be exported. -h HOSTNAME
The clients that will access the file system can be a single file serving node, file
serving nodes represented by a wildcard, or the world (:/PATHNAME). Note that -p CLIENT1:PATHNAME1,
CLIENT2:PATHNAME2,..
world access omits the client specification but not the colon (for example, :/usr/
src
).
The default Linux exportfs mount options are used unless specific options are
provided. The standard NFS export options are supported. Options must be enclosed -o "OPTIONS"
in double quotation marks (for example, -o "ro"). Do not enter an FSID= or
sync
option; they are provided automatically.
By default, the file system is exported to the NFS client’s standby. This option
excludes the standby for the file serving node from the export. -b
For example, to provide NFS clients *.hp.com with read-only access to file system ifs1 at the
directory /usr/src on file serving node s1.hp.com:
ibrix_exportfs -f ifs1 -h s1.hp.com -p *.hp.com:/usr/src -o "ro"
To provide world read-only access to file system ifs1 located at /usr/src on file serving node
s1.hp.com:
ibrix_exportfs -f ifs1 -h s1.hp.com -p :/usr/src -o "ro"
Unexporting a file system
A file system should be unexported before it is unmounted.
To unexport a file system:
•
On the GUI, select the file system, select NFS Exports from the lower Navigator, and then
select Unexport.
•
On the CLI, enter the following command:
ibrix_exportfs -U -h HOSTNAME -p CLIENT:PATHNAME [-b]
Using case-insensitive file systems
By default, IBRIX file systems and directories follow POSIX semantics and file names are case-sensitive
for Linux/NFS users. (File names are always case-insensitive for Windows clients.)
If you prefer to use Windows semantics for Linux/NFS users, you can make a file system or
subdirectory case-insensitive. Doing this prevents a Linux/NFS user from creating two files that
differ only in case (such as foo and FOO). If Windows users are accessing the directory, two files
with the same name but different case might be confusing, and the Windows users may be able
to access only one of the files.
CAUTION: Caution is advised when using this feature. It breaks POSIX semantics and can cause
problems for Linux utilities and applications.
