Deleting an NFS or SMB Share from the Command Line

You can use the qoperation command to unexport the NFS or SMB share. When a share is unexported, the corresponding SMB share will also be removed.

If Samba server is disabled, then the corresponding Samba share becomes stale.

Procedure

1. On the MediaAgent, run the qlogin command to log on to the CommServe.

2. Download the nfs_remove_export_template.xml file and save it on the MediaAgent from where the command will be executed.

3. From software_installation_directory/Base type the following command:

    
   qoperation execute -af input_xml_file_path$ -maClientInfo/clientName '$[MediAagent_name' -sNfsClntIP 'NFS_client_IP' -sShare 'mount_path' -shareId '*Share_ID'

   Note: You can also define parameter values in the nfs_remove_export_template.xml file, instead of on the command line. For more information on command line parameters and XML elements, see Command Line - Syntax.

   For more information on viewing the parameters for the NFS shares, see Viewing the Exported NFS and SMB Shares Using the CvConfigureArchiveStore Utility.

4. To log off the CommServe computer, run the qlogout command.

Example

qoperation execute -af /nfsunexport.xml -maClientInfo/clientName '3dfsSelCacheServer_CN_1' -sNfsClntIP '172.16.62.154' -sShare '3dfsnfsshare' -shareId '1428'

For information on parameters for deleting an NFS Share, see NFS Share Unexport Parameters.

Output

Sample output of the unexport command:

<App_GenericResp>
 <errorCode>0</errorCode>
 </App_GenericResp>

Diagnostics

Possible error code values are as follows:

• 0: The unexport command executed successfully

• -1: The unexport command failed

• -7: Connectivity issue with the NFS server

• -9: Reached the limit for number of unexports. Applicable for FSM type 4.
