How can I present separate NFS shares with the same path name?

Question

Hi, I'm new to Celerra, but that doesn't stop the Unix team needing NAS shares, and needing them ASAP!

If for example I have 4 Unix hosts: P1, P2, T1 & T2.. they all want to see a unique 20GB NFS share and have it mapped on each host as /app/share.

I've used the AVM on the Celerra to create 4x 20GB File Shares from the r5_perf pool, creating each share as 'P1_20GB_SHARE, P2_20GB_SHARE' etc.

However, I can't present these shares to the hosts as '/app/share', as this path doesn't relate to an actual path on the Data Mover.. that would be 'P1_20GB_SHARE' etc..

How can I get the host to mount the share under /app/share?
Is this something the Unix guys would have to do?

Thanks!

yeah, they can mount your nfs file systems under any path they want on their host.
