A.32 create AccessGroup

Creates an access group.

Syntax

create AccessGroup name=value [ description=value ] on { FileServer | StorageArray } instance

Where instance is:

{ id=value | name=value }

Description

This command creates an access group for either a file server or storage array. Generic storage array plug-ins are not supported with this command.

Options

The following table shows the available options for this command.

Option	Description
`name=value`	A name for the access group.
`description=value`	Optional description for the access group. `value` is a maximum of 4,000 characters.
{ `id=value` \| `name=value` }	The instance of the object using either the `id` or `name` option, for example `name=MyFileServer`.

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.
