Adding a Share
8-18 CLI Storage-Management Guide
For example, this command sequence removes any free-space adjustment from the
“corporate” share:
bstnA6k(gbl)# namespace medco
bstnA6k(gbl-ns[medco])# volume /vol
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol[medco~/vol])# share corporate
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol-shr[medco~/vol~corporate])# no freespace adjust
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol-shr[medco~/vol~corporate])# ...
Enabling the Share
The final step in configuring a share is to enable it. An enabled share is an active part
of the direct volume; clients can see all the share’s attach-point directories after the
share is enabled. To enable a share, use the
enable command in gbl-ns-vol-shr mode:
enable
In the
show namespace output, a direct share has a status of “Online: Direct.” In
show namespace status, the share’s status is abbreviated to “Online.”
For example, the following command sequence enables the medco ~/vol~corporate
share.
bstnA6k(gbl)# namespace medco
bstnA6k(gbl-ns[medco])# volume /vol
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol[medco~/vol])# share corporate
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol-shr[medco~/vol~corporate])# enable
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol-shr[medco~/vol~corporate])# ...
Disabling the Share
You can disable a direct share to remove its attach points from the volume. This
causes all of the share’s attach-point directories to effectively disappear from client
view. Use
no enable in gbl-ns-vol-shr mode to disable the share:
no enable
For example, the following command sequence disables the medco~/vol~sales
share.
bstnA6k(gbl)# namespace medco
bstnA6k(gbl-ns[medco])# volume /vol
