NFS Export issues with Powershell Toolkit

sheelnidhig — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:28:55 GMT

Hello All,

I have a WFA workflow to do an NFS export to list a list of Unix hosts.

when i check on the filer the export entry are coming in the /etc/exports file and also in the memory, but unix hosts is denies access of the nfs share.

even when I try to create an NFS export entry from powershell is has the same behavior.

An example:

Try to Add an NFS Export using powershell API:

PS H:\> Add-NaNfsExport -Persistent -Path /vol/got915v007/segot_a0_x915d007 -Root 10.20.30.10:10.20.30.11:10.20.30.12:10.20.30.13:10.20.30.14:10.40.60.51:50.10.

50.50 -ReadWrite 10.20.30.10:10.20.30.11:10.20.30.12:10.20.30.13:10.20.30.14:10.40.60.51:50.10.50.50

LoadedPathnames ExportedPathnames

--------------- -----------------

{/vol/got915v007/segot_a0_x915d007} {/vol/got915v007/segot_a0_x915d007}

PS H:\>

Checked on the filer the exports file is also updated with the same information:

filer903> vfiler run segotx915 exportfs

===== vfiler915

/vol/got915v007/segot_a0_x915d007 -sec=sys,rw=10.20.30.10:10.20.30.11:10.20.30.12:10.20.30.13:10.20.30.14:10.40.60.51:50.10.50.50,root=10.20.30.10:10.20.30.11:10.20.30.12:10.20.30.13:10.20.30.14:10.40.60.51:50.10.50.50

filer903> rdfile /vol/got915v000/etc/exports

filer903>

When i verify the export entry is denies access to the exported IPAddress:

filer903> vfiler run segotx915 exportfs -c 10.20.30.10 /vol/got915v007/segot_a0_x915d007

===== vfiler915

exportfs [vfiler915]: 10.20.30.10 does not have mount access to /vol/got915v007/segot_a0_x915d007 (Access denied)

filer903>

Not sure if there are any additional steps to be performed, as i see that Powershell API is not working or if anyone has a Perl Command for WFA to perform NFS Export.

Hi,

For this powershell commandlet, -Root and -ReadWrite take String arrays as inputs.

So shouldn't the actual usage be as follows:

Add-NaNfsExport -Persistent -Path /vol/got915v007/segot_a0_x915d007 -Root @(10.20.30.10,10.20.30.11,10.20.30.12,10.20.30.13,10.20.30.14,10.40.60.51,50.10.

50.50) -ReadWrite @(10.20.30.10,10.20.30.11,10.20.30.12,10.20.30.13,10.20.30.14,10.40.60.51,50.10.50.50)

The sample workflow "Create a Qtree and an NFS Export" uses the NFS export command. Here, you can see that the user inputs are comma separated.

For example for user input $ReadWriteHosts The input value should be some thing like, "10.20.30.10,10.20.30.11"

Thanks and Regards,
