Managing Shares in Catalogic vStor
Shares are created for Filesystem-type volumes in vStor. When creating a Filesystem volume, you’re prompted to establish a share.
Prerequisites
A filesystem-type volume must exist or be created.
Hosts should be network accessible.
Creating a new share using the vStor Web Interface
Open the vStor Web Interface at
https://<vStor_hostname_or_IP>:8900
.Log in as
admin
.In Storage, locate a Filesystem volume.
Click More Actions (•••) and select Share.
In the New share volume dialog:
For nfs: Choose Read-only, All hosts for universal access, or Add Host for specific IPs.
Click OK to add the share.
After completing the steps, a share is established. Click Shares in the navigation pane and the share will appear in the Shares table.
Creating a new share using vStor CLI
Show the list of defined volumes using:
vstor volume show
This command will return the following output:
ID | TYPE | POOL | IS CLONE | TOTAL | FREE | USED | NAME
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 | filesystem | 1 | No | 96.39GB | 96.39GB | 421.00KB | v1
2 | filesystem | 1 | No | 96.39GB | 96.39GB | 53.00KB | v2
3 | lun | 1 | No | 64.00KB | 52.00KB | 12.00KB | lun1
5 | filesystem | 1 | No | 96.39GB | 96.39GB | 24.00KB | myvol1
Create a share for a selected volume using:
vstor share create --vol_id=5 --share_type=nfs –-allowed_hosts all
Alternatively, use:
vstor share create --vol_id=5 --share_type=nfs –-allowed_hosts <comma separated IP address list>
The output of this command is structured in the following way:
ID: 3
NAME: /vstor/vpool1/fs5
SHARE TYPE: nfs
VOLUME ID: 5

Attention! Do not use --read_only
as a share should not be read-only.
