Required Parameters

--id VIEW_ID

Specifies the ID of the view you want to modify.
Options

--path PATH

Specifies a path to a file system directory to be exposed to clients. It can be a directory that was already created by a client inside an exposed parent directory, or it can be a new directory, in which case you must specify the --create_dir option to create the directory.

Example:

--path /a/b/c

--protocols NFS|SMB|NFS4|NFS,SMB|NFS,NFS4 PROTOCOLS

Specifies which protocol(s) the view is exposed to. Enter the value as a comma separated list of supported protocols. Supported protocols are NFS and SMB.

Examples:

--protocols NFS,SMB

--protocols NFS,NFS4

--protocols NFS

--protocols SMB

--alias ALIAS

For NFSv3 exports, specifies an alternative shorter name for the path that can be used alternatively when mounting. Optional and relevant only if the view is exposed to NFS. An alias must begin with a forward slash ("/") and must consist of only ASCII characters.

--share SHARE

Specifies the SMB share name. Required if the view is exposed to SMB. The name cannot include the following characters: /\:|<>*?"

--policy-id ID

Specifies which view policy to apply, by view policy ID. If unspecified, the default policy (ID 1) is used.

--cluster-id ID

Specifies cluster by ID.

--create-dir

Creates a directory at the specified path. Include this option of the directory does not already exist.
Example

This example changes the view policy used by the view that exposes the /dev path of the element store.

vcli: admin> view modify --id 2 --path /dev --policy-id 2
