vserver export-policy cache flush

Description​

The vserver export-policy cache flush command clears out the contents of the export policy caches for a Vserver. You might need to flush the caches to allow the changes to immediately take effect for your NFS clients because of:

• A change to your export policy rules.

• Modifying a host name record in a name server (i.e., local hosts or DNS).

• Modifying a PTR record in a DNS server (i.e., reverse DNS lookup).

• Modifying the entries in a netgroup in a name server (i.e., local netgroup, LDAP, or NIS).

• Recovering from a network outage that resulted in a netgroup being partially expanded.

• Vserver: either a specific Vserver or use "*" to flush all of them.

• Node: if flushing the

  access cache, you can also specify which node to flush it on.

• Cache to flush: by default all but

  showmount will be flushed.
