Editing a NAS Share

NAS Configuration CLI Commands
CLI command options:
• --add: Adds one or more NAS shares. Option --hidden does not apply to
NFS shares.
• --name: sharename: must be alphanumeric character.
• --proto: Network file sharing protocol (currently CIFS and NFS are
supported)
• --desc: Optional description for the share.
• --ro: if specified, share is read-only. Otherwise, share is read-write.
• --dedup: if specified, dedup will be enabled (this attribute cannot be
changed after share is created)
• --hidden: if specified, share name will not be displayed in the browser
(applicable to CIFS shares only)
• --namecase: Client file/directory names are to be stored in storage in the
specified character case (applicable to CIFS shares only). If this option is not
specified or is specified with default, client file/directory names are treated
as case-insensitive and case-preserved, that is, file/directory names will be
saved in the original character case as is, and all search will be performed in
a case-insensitive manner. If specified with lower, all incoming client file/
directory names will be converted to lower case before saving or searching.
• --anonuid: Anonymous user id (for NFS only), usually 4294967294 on 32-bit
systems or 65534 on 16-bit systems. If not specified, default to 4294967294
• --anongid: Anonymous group id (for NFS only), usually 4294967294 on 32-
bit systems or 65534 on 16-bit systems. If not specified, default to
4294967294
syscli --edit share --name <sharename> [--desc <description>] [--perms
rw|ro [--restart]] [--hidden false|true] [--anonuid <anonymous_uid>] [--
anongid <anonymous_gid>] [--namecase default [--sure]]
This CLI command allows the admin user to modify one or more attributes of a
NAS share such as description, permissions, hidden (CIFS only), etc. Although
the syntax says all attributes are optional, at least one attribute must be
specified.
Notes on the --restart option:
This option is applicable to CIFS shares only; it is ignored on NFS shares. If a CIFS
share's permissions are changed, users who are currently logged on the share
will not see the change until they log off and log in again, or CIFS service is
restarted.
The admin user can choose to restart CIFS service by specifying the --restart
option. If CIFS service is restarted, users currently logged on to CIFS shares may
experience disconnection and/or I/O disruption or backup jobs connected to all
shares may fail I/O.
CLI command options:
• --edit: Edits one or more attributes of a NAS share.
