Hello Bryan,

at least changing multiple entries at once is possible.
You can copy /var/mmfs/ces/nfs-config/gpfs.ganesha.exports.conf to e.g. /tmp, 
modify the export (remove/add nodes or options) and load the changed config via 
"mmnfs export load <config file>"

That way, only a single restart is issued for Ganesha on the CES nodes.
Adding/removing I did not try so far, to be honest for use-cases this is rather 
static.

Regards,
Stefan
