Adding rules to an export policy

You can use Storage Manager to add rules to an export policy, which enables you to define client access to data.

1. Click Storage > SVMs.
2. Select the SVM, and then click SVM Settings.
3. In the Policies pane, click Export Policies .
4. Select the export policy to which you want to add rules, and from the Export Rules tab, click Add .
5. In the Create Export Rule dialog box, perform the following steps:
   1. Specify the client that requires access to the data.

      You can specify multiple clients as comma-separated values.

      You can specify the client in any of the following formats:

      • As a host name; for instance, host1

      • As an IPv4 address; for instance, 10.1.12.24

      • As an IPv4 address with a network mask; for instance, 10.1.16.0/255.255.255.0

      • As an IPv6 address; for instance, FE80::0202:B3FF:FE1E:8329

      • As an IPv6 address with a network mask; for instance, 2001:db8::/32

      • As a netgroup, with the netgroup name preceded by an at symbol (@); for instance, @netgroup

      • As a domain name preceded by a period (.); for instance, .example.com

      Note

      You must not enter an IP address range, such as 10.1.12.10 through 10.1.12.70. Entries in this format are interpreted as a text string and are treated as a host name.

      You can enter the IPv4 address 0.0.0.0/0 to provide access to all of the hosts.

   2. If you want to modify the rule index number, select the appropriate rule index number.
   3. Select one or more access protocols.

      If you do not select any access protocol, the default value Any is assigned to the export rule.
   4. Select one or more security types and access rules.
6. Click OK .
7. Verify that the export rule that you added is displayed in the Export Rules tab for the selected export policy.
