Parameters

–? | –h | –help
Displays a detailed description of this command, including syntax, parameter descriptions, and examples. If you specify a help option, all other command options are ignored.
–quiet
Turns off confirmation messages for this command.
client_name
Specifies one or more names of clients whose root user (on UNIX®) or Administrator user (on Windows®) is to be granted full, unrestricted access to the SAN File System global namespace. You can specify up to 30 client names, and the total characters in the client names and the commas between client names must not exceed 256 characters.

This command does not verify that the specified client names are valid because the metadata server does not keep static information about the clients. It does not keep a list of allowed or possible clients. It has only a list of clients that it allows privileged access if they present themselves.

Specifies that in single-shot command mode you want this command to receive from the input stream (stdin) the names of one or more clients.

Prerequisites

You must have Administrator privileges to use the command.

You must be logged in to the operating system on the engine that hosts the master metadata server to run this command.

Example

Grant root privileges This example grants root privileges to the client named client02:
sfscli> addprivclient client02 
Are you sure you want to add client02 as a privileged client? [y/n]  Y
Privileged client access successfully granted for client02.
