Creating exports on a container that is associated with a unified file and object access storage policy

Use the following steps to create a Network File System (NFS) or Server Message Block (SMB) export on the directory that maps to the container associated with the unified file and object access storage policy.

Create an SMB or NFS export on the directory that maps to the container associated with the unified file and object access storage policy.
  1. Run the following command to create the NFS export: 
    mmnfs export add "/ibm/gpfs0/obj_sofpolicy1/s69931509221z1device1/AUTH_763476384728498323747/cont"
  2. Run the following command to create the SMB share: 
    mmsmb export add smbexport "/ibm/gpfs0/obj_sofpolicy1/s69931509221z1device1/AUTH_763476384728498323747/cont"
Note:
  • It is recommended that you create file exports on or below the container path level and not above it.
    Important: Creating file exports above the container path level might lead to deletion of the unified file and object access enabled containers that is undesirable.
  • When you use the POSIX interface, it is recommended to allow access only of data to POSIX users from on or below the container path.
    Important: Accidental deletion of container or data above might lead to inconsistent state of the system.
