create-nfs-file-share¶

Description¶

Creates a Network File System (NFS) file share on an existing file gateway. In Storage Gateway, a file share is a file system mount point backed by Amazon S3 cloud storage. Storage Gateway exposes file shares using an NFS interface. This operation is only supported for file gateways.

Warning

File gateway requires AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) to be activated to enable you to create a file share. Make sure AWS STS is activated in the AWS Region you are creating your file gateway in. If AWS STS is not activated in the AWS Region, activate it. For information about how to activate AWS STS, see Activating and deactivating AWS STS in an AWS Region in the AWS Identity and Access Management User Guide .

File gateway does not support creating hard or symbolic links on a file share.

Options¶

--client-token (string)

A unique string value that you supply that is used by file gateway to ensure idempotent file share creation.

--nfs-file-share-defaults (structure)

File share default values. Optional.

FileMode -> (string)

The Unix file mode in the form “nnnn”. For example, 0666 represents the default file mode inside the file share. The default value is 0666 .

DirectoryMode -> (string)

The Unix directory mode in the form “nnnn”. For example, 0666 represents the default access mode for all directories inside the file share. The default value is 0777 .

GroupId -> (long)

The default group ID for the file share (unless the files have another group ID specified). The default value is nfsnobody .

OwnerId -> (long)

The default owner ID for files in the file share (unless the files have another owner ID specified). The default value is nfsnobody .

Shorthand Syntax:

FileMode=string,DirectoryMode=string,GroupId=long,OwnerId=long

JSON Syntax:

{
  "FileMode": "string",
  "DirectoryMode": "string",
  "GroupId": long,
  "OwnerId": long
}

--gateway-arn (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the file gateway on which you want to create a file share.

--kms-encrypted | --no-kms-encrypted (boolean)

Set to true to use Amazon S3 server-side encryption with your own AWS KMS key, or false to use a key managed by Amazon S3. Optional.

Valid Values: true | false

--kms-key (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of a symmetric customer master key (CMK) used for Amazon S3 server-side encryption. Storage Gateway does not support asymmetric CMKs. This value can only be set when KMSEncrypted is true . Optional.

--role (string)

The ARN of the AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role that a file gateway assumes when it accesses the underlying storage.

--location-arn (string)

The ARN of the backend storage used for storing file data. A prefix name can be added to the S3 bucket name. It must end with a “/”.

--default-storage-class (string)

The default storage class for objects put into an Amazon S3 bucket by the file gateway. The default value is S3_INTELLIGENT_TIERING . Optional.

Valid Values: S3_STANDARD | S3_INTELLIGENT_TIERING | S3_STANDARD_IA | S3_ONEZONE_IA

--object-acl (string)

A value that sets the access control list (ACL) permission for objects in the S3 bucket that a file gateway puts objects into. The default value is private .

Possible values:

private

public-read

public-read-write

authenticated-read

bucket-owner-read

bucket-owner-full-control

aws-exec-read

--client-list (list)

The list of clients that are allowed to access the file gateway. The list must contain either valid IP addresses or valid CIDR blocks.

(string)

Syntax:

"string" "string" ...

--squash (string)

A value that maps a user to anonymous user.

Valid values are the following:

RootSquash : Only root is mapped to anonymous user.

NoSquash : No one is mapped to anonymous user.

AllSquash : Everyone is mapped to anonymous user.

--read-only | --no-read-only (boolean)

A value that sets the write status of a file share. Set this value to true to set the write status to read-only, otherwise set to false .

Valid Values: true | false

--guess-mime-type-enabled | --no-guess-mime-type-enabled (boolean)

A value that enables guessing of the MIME type for uploaded objects based on file extensions. Set this value to true to enable MIME type guessing, otherwise set to false . The default value is true .

Valid Values: true | false

--requester-pays | --no-requester-pays (boolean)

A value that sets who pays the cost of the request and the cost associated with data download from the S3 bucket. If this value is set to true , the requester pays the costs; otherwise, the S3 bucket owner pays. However, the S3 bucket owner always pays the cost of storing data.

Note

RequesterPays is a configuration for the S3 bucket that backs the file share, so make sure that the configuration on the file share is the same as the S3 bucket configuration.

Valid Values: true | false

--tags (list)

A list of up to 50 tags that can be assigned to the NFS file share. Each tag is a key-value pair.

Note

Valid characters for key and value are letters, spaces, and numbers representable in UTF-8 format, and the following special characters: + - = . _ : / @. The maximum length of a tag’s key is 128 characters, and the maximum length for a tag’s value is 256.

(structure)

A key-value pair that helps you manage, filter, and search for your resource. Allowed characters: letters, white space, and numbers, representable in UTF-8, and the following characters: + - = . _ : /.

Key -> (string)

Tag key. The key can’t start with aws:.

Value -> (string)

Value of the tag key.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

[
  {
    "Key": "string",
    "Value": "string"
  }
  ...
]

--file-share-name (string)

The name of the file share. Optional.

Note

FileShareName must be set if an S3 prefix name is set in LocationARN .

--cache-attributes (structure)

Refresh cache information.

CacheStaleTimeoutInSeconds -> (integer)

Refreshes a file share’s cache by using Time To Live (TTL). TTL is the length of time since the last refresh after which access to the directory would cause the file gateway to first refresh that directory’s contents from the Amazon S3 bucket. The TTL duration is in seconds.

Valid Values: 300 to 2,592,000 seconds (5 minutes to 30 days)

Shorthand Syntax:

CacheStaleTimeoutInSeconds=integer

JSON Syntax:

{
  "CacheStaleTimeoutInSeconds": integer
}

--notification-policy (string)

The notification policy of the file share.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Output¶

FileShareARN -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the newly created file share.
