Manage the NFS export policy for a volume that uses NFSv3 or NFSv4.1 protocol types in NetApp Workload Factory.

About this task

Managing a volume's export policy involves adding export policy rules that detail client specifications, access control, super user access, and NFS version. You can add more than one export policy and prioritize them.

Before you begin

Determine the client specifications for the export policy rules. Valid values for the client specification are as follows:

  • IP addresses

  • IP addresses with subnet masks

  • IP addresses with a network mask

  • A netgroup name preceded by the “@” character

  • A domain name preceded by a period “.”

  • Host names
