Adding an NFS shared CFS file system to VCS

This command adds the CFS file system to the VCS configuration in the cfsnfssg service group, then mounts the file system at the mount_point, and NFS shares the CFS file system.

cfsshare add [-D] shared_disk_group shared_volume mount_point \
[share_options] node_name=[mount_options]...
cfsshare add [-D] shared_disk_group shared_volume mount_point \
[share_options] all=[mount_options]
cfsshare add -p nfs [-D] [-N nfs_share_options] shared_disk_group \
shared_volume mount_point <node_name=[mount_options]>
cfsshare add -p nfs [-D] [-N nfs_share_options] shared_disk_group \
shared_volume mount_point all=[mount_options]
