create-location-nfs

Description

Creates a transfer location for a Network File System (NFS) file server. DataSync can use this location as a source or destination for transferring data.

Before you begin, make sure that you understand how DataSync accesses NFS file servers .

Note

If you're copying data to or from an Snowcone device, you can also use CreateLocationNfs to create your transfer location. For more information, see Configuring transfers with Snowcone .

Options

--subdirectory (string)

Specifies the export path in your NFS file server that you want DataSync to mount.

This path (or a subdirectory of the path) is where DataSync transfers data to or from. For information on configuring an export for DataSync, see Accessing NFS file servers .

--server-hostname (string)

Specifies the Domain Name System (DNS) name or IP version 4 address of the NFS file server that your DataSync agent connects to.

--on-prem-config (structure)

Specifies the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the DataSync agent that can connect to your NFS file server.

You can specify more than one agent. For more information, see Using multiple DataSync agents .

AgentArns -> (list)

The Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of the DataSync agents that can connect to your NFS file server.

You can specify more than one agent. For more information, see Using multiple DataSync agents .

(string)

Shorthand Syntax:

AgentArns=string,string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "AgentArns": ["string", ...]
}

--mount-options (structure)

Specifies the options that DataSync can use to mount your NFS file server.

Version -> (string)

Specifies the NFS version that you want DataSync to use when mounting your NFS share. If the server refuses to use the version specified, the task fails.

You can specify the following options:

  • AUTOMATIC (default): DataSync chooses NFS version 4.1.
  • NFS3 : Stateless protocol version that allows for asynchronous writes on the server.
  • NFSv4_0 : Stateful, firewall-friendly protocol version that supports delegations and pseudo file systems.
  • NFSv4_1 : Stateful protocol version that supports sessions, directory delegations, and parallel data processing. NFS version 4.1 also includes all features available in version 4.0.

Note

DataSync currently only supports NFS version 3 with Amazon FSx for NetApp ONTAP locations.

Shorthand Syntax:

Version=string

JSON Syntax:

{
  "Version": "AUTOMATIC"|"NFS3"|"NFS4_0"|"NFS4_1"
}

--tags (list)

Specifies labels that help you categorize, filter, and search for your Amazon Web Services resources. We recommend creating at least a name tag for your location.

(structure)

A key-value pair representing a single tag that's been applied to an Amazon Web Services resource.

Key -> (string)

The key for an Amazon Web Services resource tag.

Value -> (string)

The value for an Amazon Web Services resource tag.

Shorthand Syntax:

Key=string,Value=string ...

JSON Syntax:

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

--cli-input-json (string) Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI 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.

--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. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

Global Options

--debug (boolean)

Turn on debug logging.

--endpoint-url (string)

Override command's default URL with the given URL.

--no-verify-ssl (boolean)

By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.

--no-paginate (boolean)

Disable automatic pagination. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

--no-sign-request (boolean)

Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.

--ca-bundle (string)

The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.

--cli-read-timeout (int)

The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

--cli-connect-timeout (int)

The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.

Output

LocationArn -> (string)

The ARN of the transfer location that you created for your NFS file server.
