Creating NFS exports

You can create an NFS export to make file system paths on your storage system available for mounting by NFS clients. NFS clients can mount resources only after the resources have been exported and made available for mounting.

Before you begin

•	The NFS license must be enabled on the storage system.

•	You must have the following information:

•	File system path to be exported

•	Access privileges of the NFS clients (read-only, read-write, or root)

•	Security types that an NFS client must support to access the file system path

•	Anonymous access settings

Steps

1.	From the Home tab, double-click the appropriate storage system.

2.	In the navigation pane, click Storage > Exports.

3.	Click Create.

4.	In the Create Export dialog box, specify the path to the volume, directory, or file to be exported.

5.	In the Export path field, specify the path for accessing the exported path from a host.

6.	Click Add in the Host Permissions section.

7.	In the Add Export Rule dialog box, specify the required settings and click Add.

8.	Click Create.
