Overview

In this tutorial we will be using FAS3210 with ONTAP 8 to Manage NetAPP NFS exports using exportfs CLI.

Requirements

Login to NetAPP with SSH / Console (We used PUTTY)

How to

-Read NetAPP NFS exports file:

rdfile /etc/exports

- Copy output to Notepad or something similar with CTRL+C

Output example for NFS share called “myexport” located at /vol/myexport with rw permissions to all 10.0.0.X, 10.0.1.X and root access to 10.0.0.X

/myexport -actual=/vol/myexport,sec=sys,rw=10.0.0.0/24:10.0.1.0/24,root=10.0.0.0/24

- Edit NetAPP NFS exports - for example limit 10.0.0.X to Read Only:

/myexport -actual=/vol/myexport,sec=sys,ro=10.0.0.0/24,rw=10.0.1.0/24,root=10.0.0.0/24

- Copy all exports to Memory with CTRL+C

- Write updated exports file: wrfile /etc/exports

- Paste Memory to Console with CTRL+V

- Press enter and then exit with CTRL+C

- Re Export your NFS shares:

exportfs -a

All Done!
