AWS CLI Command Reference

[ aws . datasync ]

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 want to connect to your NFS file server.

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

AgentArns -> (list)

The Amazon Resource Names (ARNs) of the agents connecting to a transfer location.

(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 | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those 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. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--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. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.

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.

--output (string)

The formatting style for command output.

  • json
  • text
  • table
  • yaml
  • yaml-stream

--query (string)

A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.

--profile (string)

Use a specific profile from your credential file.

--region (string)

The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.

--version (string)

Display the version of this tool.

--color (string)

Turn on/off color output.

  • on
  • off
  • auto

--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.

--cli-binary-format (string)

The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb:// will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format.

  • base64
  • raw-in-base64-out

--no-cli-pager (boolean)

Disable cli pager for output.

--cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

--no-cli-auto-prompt (boolean)

Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.

Output

LocationArn -> (string)

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