NOTE: You can add NFS exports to the file system at later time. 8. If you configured initial export, configure Host Access. Option Minimum Security Default Access Add Host Description Select Sys to allow users with non-secure NFS, or Secure NFS to mount and NFS export on the file system. If you are not configuring Secure NFS you must select this option. If you are creating a file system with Secure NFS, then you can choose from the following options: ● Kerberos to allow any type of Kerberos security for authentication (krb5/krb5i/krb5p). ● Kerberos with Integrity to allow both Kerberos with integrity and Kerberos with encryption security for user authentication (krb5i/krb5p). ● Kerberos with Encryption to allow only Kerberos with encryption security for user authentication (krb5p). The type of access that is applied to the hosts by default. Optionally, you can choose a different type of access to the host when adding individual hosts. Options include: ● No Access-No access is permitted to the storage resource or share. ● Read/Write-Hosts have permission to view the contents of the storage resource or share, but not to write to it. ● Read-Only-Hosts have permission to read and write to the NFS datastore or share. NOTE: ESXI hosts must have Read//Write access in order to mount an NFS datastore using NFSv4 with Kerberos NFS owner authentication. ● Read/Write, allow Root-Hosts have permission to read and write to the storage resource or share, and to grant revoked access permissions (for example, permission to read, modify, and execute specific files and directories) for other login accounts that access the storage. The root of the NFS client has root access to the share. NOTE: Unless the hosts are part of a supported cluster configuration, a void granting Read/Write access to more than one host. NOTE: ESXi hosts must have Read/Write, allow Root access in order to mount an NFS datastore using NFSv4 with NFS Owner:root authentication. ● Read-Only, allow Root - Hosts have permission to view the contents of the share, but not to write to it. The root of the NFS client has root access to the share. Enter hosts individually, or you can add hosts by uploading a properly formatted CSV file. You can download the CSV file first to obtain a template. To download, edit, and use a CSV file template: a. Click the Export Hosts icon. b. Update the CSV file with the hosts, and access types you want to import. c. Save the CSV file to your local machine. d. Click Import CSV file. e. Browse to the CSV file, and click Open in your Microsoft File Explorer window. The hosts from the CSV file appear in the Import Host List with the Access Type you defined in the CVS file. 9. Optionally, add a protection policy to the file system. If you are adding a protection policy to the file system, the policy must have been created before creating the file system. The selected protection policy can include both snapshot and replication rules. 10. Review the summary and click Create File System. The file system is added to the File System tab.
