DESCRIPTION

NOTE: The DAFS service has been deprecated and will be removed in a future release of Data ONTAP. See the Data ONTAP Upgrade Guide for more information.

The DAFS service makes filer data accessible to clients through DAFS exports, which are controlled points of access in the DAFS namespace. A DAFS export may be readwrite or read-only, may be enabled or disabled, and may have a client-host based access list associated with it. The dafs export command creates a DAFS export, deletes a DAFS export, lists all, or a selected, DAFS export, and modifies properties of a DAFS export. Each DAFS export has a unique name, set when the export is created. The name is used to identify the export later. Access to exports is controlled by host access lists. See na_dafs_access(1) for more information.

OPTIONS

create [-r] export_name path
Create a new DAFS export identified by export_name. The export is associated with the filer volume path. If the -r argument is used then the export is created as read-only, otherwise it is created as read-write. The operation of creating a new export places the export into the DAFS namespace so that it is visible to DAFS clients.

destroy export_name
Destroy a DAFS export identified by export_name. Access by DAFS clients to the export is removed on the next access.

list [export_name]
List DAFS exports and their properties. If a single export_name is given then just that export will be listed.

modify -r | -w export_name
Modify attributes of an export, including read-only or read-write access. If the -r argument is used then the export is marked as read-only. If the -w argument is used then the export is marked as read-write. Only one of -r and -w may be used.

enable export_name
Make the export export_name available for use after a previous disable command. See the disable command for more information.

disable export_name
Disable the export export_name. A disabled export has configuration information preserved on the filer, but is not available for DAFS clients to access. A disabled export may subsequently be made available again by the enable command.

all: Export all entries. This command manually reexports all entries for the current host.

EXAMPLES

Create a new export called data1 for /vol/vol3:

       dafs export create data1 /vol/vol3

The following example makes export data1 read-only:

       dafs export modify -r data1

LIMITATIONS

The export path must correspond to a filer volume.
