perl - SDK - append export

kfelipe — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 04:09:59 GMT

Hi folks,

I am quite new with the Perl SDK, but I've tried several ways of appending exports with no success

I am using version 5.3.1

This is the method:

nfs_exportfs_append_rules

which requires one parameter named rules and expects an array of 'exports-rule-info'

it fails with error: Field 'exports-rule-info[]' for 'rules' not specified (13001)

Can anyone copy an snipet of code how to add an array of exports-rule-info or similar as an input parameter?

This is my code:

my $rule=new NaElement('exports-rule-info');
$rule->child_add_string('pathname','/vol/test1');
my $rules = new NaElement('rules');

$rules->child_add($rule);
my @RuleS=();
push @RuleS,$rule;
$out = $s->nfs_exportfs_append_rules('rules'=>$rules);

I have tried passing also the @RuleS and the \@rules with no success

Thanks in advance and regards,

I haven't had time to actually add hosts/subnets/netgroups to the export...but this at least passes, hopefully it helps

my $cmd = new NaElement ('nfs-exportfs-append-rules');
my $rules= new NaElement ('rules');
my $expRuleInfo = new NaElement('exports-rule-info');

$expRuleInfo->child_add_string('pathname','/vol/test1');

$cmd->child_add_string('verbose','1');
$rules->child_add($expRuleInfo);

$cmd->child_add($rules);

my $result = $s->invoke_elem($cmd);

$s is of course the NaServer insance.

Yes, it does help. It worked.

Thanks you very much!
