Listing Filer Shares
It is convenient to show the available back-end-filer shares as you add them into a
direct volume. Filer shares are configured from Network-Attached Storage (NAS)
filers or file servers with Direct-Attached Storage (DAS). Use the
show exports
external-filer ... shares
command to show a filer’s shares using the external-filer name
assigned at the ARX. This is very similar to the
show exports host command
described in Chapter 5, Examining Filers:
show exports external-filer filer shares
[user username windows-domain domain | proxy-user proxy]
where
filer (1-1024 characters) is the external filer’s name, as displayed in
show
external-filer
(see “Listing External Filers” on page 6-6),
username (optional, 1-64 characters) is a Windows username (for CIFS
shares),
domain (optional, 1-64 characters) is the above user’s Windows domain, and
proxy (1-64 characters) is an alternative to the username/domain credentials.
This the name of the proxy-user configuration, as shown by the
show
proxy-user
command (see “Listing All Proxy Users” on page 3-5).
The output shows NFS shares in one table and CIFS shares in another:
• The NFS table shows each export and the NIS netgroup(s) (shown as IP
addresses and wildcards) that can access the share. For an export to be eligible for
inclusion in the volume, all proxy-IP addresses must be on this list.
