VNX NFS Reclaim.
Hi All,
I am looking for way to perform the Reclaim activity on NFS. Could any one has done or any Documents that they can share with me it will really help me out.
Will Temporarily unexport an NFS path and command "server_export server_4 -Protocol nfs -export /Test_NFS"
Will harm the any othere NFS shares?
No Events found!

Let's put this into plain language. You would like to take an existing NFS share on a file system, unexport it, create a newer, smaller filesystem, then export the new FS with the same pathname, yes?
IF your NFS shares are on different filesystems, say, filesystem_1 has the share /filesystem_1/TestNFS, then this is simple.
If your NFS shares are on the same filesystem, say, filesystem_1 has the shares /filesystem_1/TestNFS1, /filesystem_1/TestNFS2, /filesystem_1/TestNFS3, then no, you cannot resize TestNFS1 without impacting TestNFS2 and TestNFS3
Let us know if that helps!

What do you mean with „reclaim” ?
Of course unexporting one NFS share does not impact other NFS shares – why would it ?

Reclaim means to take the space from the Existing File system(NFS) and create new File System with smaller size.
I am new to VNX NFS so need some guidance.

Thank you Karl,
For "If your NFS shares are on the same filesystem, say, filesystem_1 has the shares /filesystem_1/TestNFS1,/filesystem_1/TestNFS2, /filesystem_1/TestNFS3, then no, you cannot resize TestNFS1 without impacting TestNFS2 and TestNFS3"
For the about we are ready to take a downtime could you please help me in the process flow or steps in it?
