Chapter 8: Configure MxFS-Linux 161

To create a Virtual NFS Service from the command line, use this

command:

mx vnfs add [--exportgroup <exportgroup_name>|NONE]

[

--policy autofailback

nofailback

] [--activitytype single|always]

...

You can view the configuration and status of Virtual NFS Services and the

Export Groups associated with them on the Management Console. See

“High-Availability Monitors” on page 145 and also “Application States”

on page 195.

To view Virtual NFS Services from the command line, use this command:

mx vnfs status [--up|--down] [--enabled|--disabled]

[--primary|--backup] [--active|--inactive] [<vnfs> ...]

Migrate a Virtual NFS Service

The Virtual NFS Service Rehost option allows you to move a Virtual NFS

Service to another node. For example, you might want to move the

Virtual NFS Service from the primary node before taking that node down

for maintenance. You can use this option in the following ways.

From the Servers or Virtual Hosts Tab

Select the Virtual NFS Service on either the Servers or Virtual Hosts tab,

right-click, and select Rehost. Then, on the Virtual NFS Service Rehost

window, use the arrows to move the Virtual NFS Service to another node.

Use the up and down arrows to reorder the interfaces associated with the

primary and backup nodes. To change the set of nodes used as a primary

or backup for the Virtual NFS Service, move the appropriate interfaces to

the Available or Configured columns.
