Prev	Appendix A CLI Command Reference	Next

Discovers a file server.

Syntax

create FileServer plugin=name accessHost=value [ adminHost=value adminUserName=value adminPassword=value ] [ uniformedExports= { yes | no } ] [ name=value ] [ description=value ]

Description

This command discovers a file server and adds it to Oracle VM Manager. If you are adding a non-generic file server, for example a Sun ZFS Storage Appliance, also enter the additional plug-in options to enable Oracle VM Manager to access the file server's configuration management functions using the adminHost option.

After discovering a file server, you should:

Add one or more admin servers to the file server using the add Server command.
Add one or more refresh servers to the file server using the addNfsRefreshServer command.
Optionally, if you are using non-uniformed file system exports, you can create a file server access group using the create NfsAccessGroup command. Add file systems to the access group using the add FileSystem command. Add Oracle VM Servers to the access group using the add Server command.
Refresh the file server and file systems using the refresh command.

Options

The following table shows the available options for this command.

Option	Description
`plugin=name`	The storage plug-in to use for the file server to be discovered. The plugin name must match an existing plugin name exactly. To obtain a list of existing plugin names, do: OVM> list FileServerPlugin If a vendor specific plug-in is configured it is made available as an option here. To see the list of options, use the ? option, for example: OVM> create FileServer plugin=?
`accessHost=value`	The host name or IP address for the file server to be discovered.
`adminHost=value`	The host name or IP address where administrative access to the file server is allowed.
`adminUserName=value`	A user name with administrative access to the file server, used with `adminHost`.
`adminPassword=value`	The administrator password for the `adminUserName` user.
`uniformedExports=` { `yes` \| `no` }	Whether the file server has uniformed file system exports. The default is `yes`.
`name=value`	A name to identify the file server.
`description=value`	Optional description for the file server.

Note

Any create command only creates a single instance of an object, and therefore only accepts a single object instance as an attribute. Providing more than one object of the same attribute type as a parameter always results in the last attribute value taking precedence.
