The export options list contains some ¯ags followed optionally by a list containing a character string of characteristics for the directory tree being exported. Each ¯ag consists of a minus '-' followed by a character. The options you list here will appear in the OPTIONS parameter on the CHGNFSEXP command. The ¯ags are separated by spaces. Only certain combinations of ¯ags are allowed. If a combination that is not valid is detected, an error will be returned.

 

You can export to speci®c groups of clients by using the/etc/netgroup ®le. This ®le

 

contains an alias for a group of clients to whom ®le systems will be exported. No

 

other systems outside of the netgroup will be able to access the ®le systems. For

 

more information about the /etc/netgroup ®le, see ª/etc/netgroup Fileº on page 96.

 

Users can call this command by using the following alternative command name:

 

v EXPORTFS

For more information on how to edit the /etc/exports ®le, see ªEditing stream ®les

by using the Edit File (EDTF) commandº on page 93.

 

Restrictions:

The following restrictions apply when changing export entries:

1.The user must have *IOSYSCFG special authority to use this command.

2.The user must have read (*R) and write (*W) data authority to the /etc directory.

AS/400E specifications

The IBM AS/400E, now more commonly known as IBM i, is a robust and versatile midrange server that has been designed to provide a comprehensive computing solution for businesses of all sizes. First introduced in the late 1980s, the AS/400 series has undergone multiple enhancements and rebranding, with the AS/400E being one of the notable iterations. This powerful platform is closely associated with IBM's commitment to reliability, scalability, and integrated business solutions.

One of the main features of the AS/400E is its highly integrated architecture that combines hardware and software into a cohesive system. This integration allows for seamless operations, reducing the complexity typically associated with managing disparate systems. The system is powered by IBM's proprietary OS/400 operating system, which has evolved into IBM i, featuring advanced capabilities like object-oriented programming, integrated database management, and security features that are essential for enterprise environments.

A key characteristic of the AS/400E is its robust database support, primarily through the use of DB2 for i. This integrated database management system enables efficient data handling and retrieval, facilitating real-time business analytics and reporting. Furthermore, the platform supports a variety of programming languages, including RPG, COBOL, and Java, making it flexible for developers who require diverse tools for application development.

The AS/400E is also known for its exceptional reliability and uptime, making it a preferred choice for critical business applications in industries such as finance, healthcare, and manufacturing. This reliability is backed by advanced error detection and correction mechanisms, as well as redundancy features that help prevent data loss and minimize downtime.

In terms of scalability, the AS/400E can effortlessly expand to accommodate growing business demands. Organizations can increase processing power by adding more resources without significant disruption. This scalability, combined with the system’s built-in virtualization capabilities, allows businesses to optimize resource usage and streamline operations.

Security is another defining feature of the AS/400E. The platform incorporates various layers of security measures, including user authentication, encryption, and comprehensive auditing capabilities, ensuring that sensitive business data is protected against unauthorized access.

Overall, the IBM AS/400E remains a powerful tool in the enterprise computing landscape, providing businesses with an integrated, reliable, and secure solution for their technological needs. Its enduring popularity is a testament to its capability to evolve with changing business requirements while maintaining its core attributes of high performance and stability.
