3.5.1 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Chapter 8: Configure MxFS-Linux 142

If the appropriate Virtual NFS Service does not currently exist, you can

create it by clicking the “Create a single Virtual NFS Service” button. (See

“Add a Virtual NFS Service” on page 159 for more information.) You can

also create multiple Virtual NFS Services in one operation by clicking the

“Create a spanning set of Virtual NFS Services” button. This step creates

and configures a set of Virtual NFS Services, one on each available server

with the other servers as backups. See “Create a Spanning Set of Virtual

NFS Services” on page 143 for more information.

When you have completed your entries on the Add Export Group

window, you can click Apply or OK to create the Export Group, or you

can configure the advanced options as described under “Advanced

Options for Export Group Monitors” on page 146. (The advanced options

are for the high-availability monitor associated with the Export Group.)

When you click Apply or OK, MxFS-Linux validates each export record

and reports any syntax errors.

To create an Export Group from the command line, type this command:

mx exportgroup add

[

--exports

<exports_file>]

[

<other-arguments>

]

[--vnfs <vnfs1>,<vnfs2>,...] <exportgroup_name>
