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

Use the following steps to create an NFS or SMB export on the directory that maps to the container associated with the unified file and object access storage policy.

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