Create a local UNIX group
Availability: This command is available to cluster and Vserver administrators at the admin privilege level.
Description
The vserver services name-service unix-group create
command creates a local UNIX group on a Vserver.
Use a local UNIX group for
Windows-to-UNIX and UNIX-to-Windows group mappings.
Parameters
- -vserver <vserver name> - Vserver
- Use this parameter to specify
the Vserver on which to create the local UNIX group.
- -name <text> - Group Name
- Use this parameter to specify
the name of the group to create.
- -id <integer> - Group ID
- Use this parameter to specify
an ID number for the group.
- [-skip-name-validation {true|false}] - Skip Name Validation
-
By default, Data ONTAP validates the name to ensure it complies with the following rules:
- The name contains only valid characters: 0 through 9, A through Z, a through z, "_", ".", and "-"
- The name does not start with "-"
- The name does not contain "$" except as the last character
If the parameter is set to true, the name validation is skipped.
Examples
The following example creates a group named sales on a Vserver named vs0. The group has the ID 94.
cluster1::> vserver services name-service unix-group create -vserver vs0 -name sales -id 94
