name

string

The name of the SVM.

uuid

string

The unique identifier of the SVM.

cifs_target

Name Type Description

home_directory

boolean

Specify if the destination share is a home directory.

locality

string

Specifies whether the CIFS symbolic link is a local link or wide link. The following values are supported:

  • local - Local symbolic link maps only to the same CIFS share.

  • widelink - Wide symbolic link maps to any CIFS share on the network.

path

string

Specifies the CIFS path on the destination to which the symbolic link maps. The final path is generated by concatenating the CIFS server name, the share name, the cifs-path and the remaining path in the symbolic link left after the prefix match. This value is specified by using a UNIX-style path name. The trailing forward slash is required for the full path name to be properly interpreted.

server

string

Specifies the destination CIFS server where the UNIX symbolic link is pointing. This field is mandatory if the locality of the symbolic link is 'widelink'. You can specify the value in any of the following formats:

  • DNS name of the CIFS server.

  • IP address of the CIFS server.

  • NetBIOS name of the CIFS server.

share

string

Specifies the CIFS share name on the destination CIFS server to which the UNIX symbolic link is pointing.
