POST /protocols/nfs/export-policies

Introduced In: 9.6

Creates an export policy. An SVM can have any number of export policies to define rules for which clients can access data exported by the SVM. A policy with no rules prohibits access.

Required properties

  • svm.uuid or svm.name - Existing SVM in which to create an export policy.

  • name - Name of the export policy.

  • rules - Rule(s) of an export policy. Used to create the export rule and populate the export policy with export rules in a single request.

  • rules[].index - If you specify an index number that already matches a rule, the index number of the existing rule is incremented, as are the index numbers of all subsequent rules, either to the end of the list or to an open space in the list. If you do not specify an index number, the new rule is placed at the end of the policy's list.

  • vserver export-policy create
