Creating a Share from the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu

The following procedure explains how to create a Standard Share or Optimized Share from the shell menu.

Before starting this procedure, determine what type of Share you want to create. You can choose between the following:

  • Standard Share

  • Optimized Share

Note:

If you want to create an Optimized Share and have not yet created the Optimized Share Reserve, you are prompted to create it within the command.

To create a new Share from the shell menu:

  1. Open an SSH session to log on to the appliance as an administrator.
  2. Enter the create command specific to Share you want to create:
    • Main_Menu > Manage > Storage > Create Share Standard creates a Standard Share.

    • Main_Menu > Manage > Storage > Create Share Optimized creates an Optimized Share.

    The command guides you through the process of configuring a new Share.

  3. Enter the Share name, for example share_1.
  4. Enter a short description for the Share, for example Test for share_1.
  5. Enter the allocated capacity for the Share, for example 5GB.
  6. Enter a comma-separated list of Oracle server clients that can access the Share, for example 10.100.0.2, 10.100.0.3.

    Note:

    Client names can be entered using the short name, the FQDN, or the IP format.

  7. Enter the NFS export options for each of the Oracle clients. You are prompted to enter options for each client you added in the previous step.

    See NFS export options.

  8. Once you have entered the NFS export options, a summary is displayed.
  9. Enter yes to create the Share. A series of messages are displayed as the Share is created.
