Description

The Revoke-NfsClientLock cmdlet releases locks that a client computer currently holds for files that a Network File System (NFS) server shares. You can select the locks to revoke by specifying the path of the files. The Path parameter supports wildcards, so you can revoke multiple locks that match the specified pattern.

You can revoke NFS v4 protocol locks by specifying the state identifier of the locked files. You can revoke NFS v3 protocol locks by specifying the computer name of the NFS client that holds the lock on the files.

Examples

Example 1: Revoke the lock on all files

PS C:\> Revoke-NfsClientLock -Path "c:\shares\*"

This command revokes the lock on all the files on a local NFS server that have a path that begins with c:\shares.

Required Parameters

-InputObject

Specifies the input to this cmdlet. You can use this parameter, or you can pipe the input to this cmdlet.

Type: CimInstance[]
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByValue)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Path

Specifies an array of paths and file names on the NFS server. If there are multiple clients that have multiple locks on the same file, all the locks are revoked.

Type: String[]
Aliases: file, LockedFile
Position: 0
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False

Optional Parameters

-AsJob

Indicates that this cmdlet runs the command as a background job on a remote computer. Use this parameter to run commands that take an extensive time to finish.

When you use the AsJob parameter, the command returns an object that represents the job, and then displays the command prompt. You can continue to work in the session while the job finishes. To manage the job, use the Job cmdlets. To get the job results, use the Receive-Job cmdlet.

The AsJob parameter resembles using the Invoke-Command cmdlet to run a Start-Job command remotely. However, with AsJob , the job is created on the local computer, even though the job runs on a remote computer, and the results of the remote job are automatically returned to the local computer.

For more information about Windows PowerShell background jobs, see about_Jobs and about_Remote_Jobs .

Type: SwitchParameter
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-CimSession

Runs the cmdlet in a remote session or on a remote computer. Enter a computer name or a session object, such as the output of a New-CimSession or Get-CimSession cmdlet. The default is the current session on the local computer.

Type: CimSession[]
Aliases: Session
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-ComputerName

Specifies the host name of the client computer that holds a lock to files on the NFS server.

Type: String
Aliases: client, name, ClientComputer
Position: 2
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-Confirm

Prompts you for confirmation before running the cmdlet.

Type: SwitchParameter
Aliases: cf
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-LockType

Specifies an array of lock types on the file. Valid values are NLM and NFS.

Locks acquired by NFS clients that mount files to an NFS share by using the NFS v2 or the NFS v3 protocol are Network Lock Manager (NLM) locks. Locks acquired by NFS clients that mount files by using the NFS v4.1 protocol are NFS locks.

Type: ClientLockType[]
Aliases: type
Parameter Sets: NLM, NFS
Position: 1
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-PassThru

Returns an object representing the item with which you are working. By default, this cmdlet does not generate any output.

Type: SwitchParameter
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-StateId

Specifies the state identifier of the locks to revoke. StateId applies only to locks that an NFS client acquires by using the NFS v4.1 protocol.

Type: String
Position: 2
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: True (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters: False
-ThrottleLimit

Specifies the maximum number of concurrent operations that can be established to run the cmdlet. If this parameter is omitted or a value of 0 is entered, then Windows PowerShell® calculates an optimum throttle limit for the cmdlet based on the number of CIM cmdlets that are running on the computer. The throttle limit applies only to the current cmdlet, not to the session or to the computer.

Type: Int32
Position: Named
Default value: None
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
-WhatIf

Shows what would happen if the cmdlet runs. The cmdlet is not run.

Type: SwitchParameter
Aliases: wi
Position: Named
Default value: False
Accept pipeline input: False
Accept wildcard characters: False
