Chapter 2: mx Commands 65

mx exportgroup – Export Group commands

These commands are provided by MxFS-Linux and are used to manage

Export Groups.

Add an Export Group:

mx exportgroup add [--exports <exports_file>] [other-arguments]

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

The --exports option specifies a file containing export records that will be

imported into the Export Group. The --vnfs option specifies Virtual NFS

Services that should be associated with this Export Group.

The other arguments are:

[--timeout <seconds>]

The maximum amount of time to wait for the monitor probe to complete.

The default is 15 seconds.

[--frequency <seconds>]

The interval at which the high-availability monitor probes the NFS service.

The default is 30 seconds.

[--probeSeverity nofailover|autorecover|noautorecover]

The failover behavior for the high-availability monitor. nofailover prevents

failover of Virtual NFS Services when the probe fails. autorecover fails over

the Virtual NFS Services, and when the NFS service is restored on the

original node, fails the Virtual NFS Services back to the original network

interfaces. noautorecover fails over the Virtual NFS Services but does not

fail them back after the NFS service restored. The default is autorecover.

[--ordering serial|parallel]

Whether a strict ordering sequence should be enforced when Start or Stop

scripts are run. The default is serial, the strict ordering sequence.

[--recoveryScript <script>]

A script that runs after a monitor probe has failed. The script attempts to

restore the NFS service. The script pathname can be up to 512 characters

long.

[--recoveryTimeout <seconds>]

The amount of time to wait for the Recovery script to complete.
