By default, VAST Cluster has one default view and one default view policy. A view policy is a reusable set of configurations. Every view has a view policy and a view policy may be used by multiple views.
Initially, a view is pre-configured for NFS protocol (only) and it exposes the top location of the file system "/". The default view policy gives read/write access to all hosts and root squashes all hosts. Both the initially configured view and the default view policy can be modified.
To see the existing views configured on the cluster, go to the Configuration page and select the Views tab.
The following settings are displayed:
Filesystem Path |
The full path from the top level of the storage system on the cluster to the location exposed by the view. |
NFS Alias |
An alias for the mount path of an NFS export. |
SMB Share Name |
For SMB shares, the share name. |
View Policy |
The view policy. |
Exposed Protocols |
The protocol(s) the view is exposed to. This can be NFS or SMB or both. |
You can modify and remove views using the action buttons that appear when you hover over the far right column.
To see the existing view policies configured on the cluster, go to the Configuration page and select the View Policies tab.
Some of the main settings are displayed:
Name |
The name of the policy. |
Security Flavor |
The security flavor of the policy. |
Read write |
The hosts that have read/write access to the view. * is a wildcard indicating all hosts. |
Read only |
The hosts that have read only access to the view. * is a wildcard indicating all hosts. |
You can modify and remove view policies using the action buttons that appear when you hover over the far right column.
Run the view list and viewpolicy list commands to list existing views and view policies via the VAST CLI.
