This topic introduces the connection command usage:
- connection --show [options] 
 - connection --add --name [options] 
 - connection --update [options] 
 - connection --delete [options] 
 - connection --enable [options] 
 - connection --disable [options] 
 - connection --help

 NOTE: If you specify a command without supplying the expected value or option, you are prompted to provide the correct value or option.  | 
  
    
Description
Displays the current connections on a container.
| 
   
  | 
 NOTE: In addition to displaying the current status of an existing container connection, this command also verifies if an existing container connection is disabled (by listing its status as offline).  | 
 
Syntax
connection --show [--name <name>] [--type <NFS|||||>][--verbose]
Where
--name      Name of container. ABC
--type      Type of sharing (NFS|||||).
--verbose   Show further details.
 
Result
Container Name                Connection Type
Target                           
avc                              
 
Other Examples
Display the complete status of all existing container connections by using the --verbose command on a QoreStor (this example only shows a partial display of the total output):
Container Entry ID              : 1
Container Name                  : NV_QS1
 connection Entry ID         : 1
 connection Quota            : Unlimited
 connection Used Capacity    : 257.0 GiB
 connection Enabled          : Yes
 connection status           : Available
  
    
Description
Adds a new connection to a container.
| 
   
  | 
 NOTE: If the QoreStor is FIPS-enabled, the , , EDM, and  connection types are not supported and the connection --add command fails with the error: Error: [type] connection is not supported on a FIPS-enabled QoreStor.  | 
 
Syntax
connection --add --name <name> --type <NFS||||||EDM> 
	[--clients <ip address>] 
	[--dma <ip address>] 
	[--initiator <IQN, ip address, hname, or WWPN>] 
	[--map <nobody |  | administrator>] 
	[--options <NFS |  mount export options>] 
	[--capacity <Positive decimal number>]
Where
--name        Name of container.
--type        Type of sharing required (NFS||||||EDM).
--clients     Restrict NFS/ access to this list of comma separated hs.
--dma         Restrict  access to this DMA h.
--initiator   Restrict /FC access to this /FC initiator.
--map     How to map  for NFS.
--options     mount options NFS (rw,ro,insecure), (hide,unhide, sync always=<yes/no>,valid users).
--capacity     usable capacity in Gigabytes.
 
Result
Successfully added connection entry.
 connection Quota            : 10
 connection Enabled          : Yes
  
    
Description
Updates or modifies the connection values on an existing container connection on a QoreStor. The --capacity command option lets you specify a positive decimal number to represent the capacity size (in Gigabytes (GB)) of an  container. 
| 
   
  | 
 NOTE:  container connections are unlimited by default, and  type container connections only support unlimited capacity.   | 
 
Syntax
connection --update --name <name>
	--type <NFS|||||>
	[--clients <ip address>]
	[--dma <ip address>]
	[--initiator <IQN, ip address, hname, or WWPN>]
	[--map <nobody |  | administrator>]
	[--options <NFS |  mount export options>]
	[--capacity <Positive decimal number>]
Where
--name        Name of container.
--type        Type of sharing required (NFS|||||).
--clients     Restrict NFS/ access to this list of comma separated hs.
--dma         Restrict  access to this DMA h.
--initiator   Restrict /FC access to this /FC initiator.
--map     How to map  for NFS.
--options     mount options NFS (rw,ro,insecure), (hide,unhide).
--capacity     usable capacity in Gigabytes.
 
Result
Successfully updated connection entry.
 connection Quota            : 200 GiB
 connection Used Capacity    : 0.0 GiB
 connection Enabled          : Yes
