Vfiler Description

Vfiler Description:

The vfiler command controls the configuration of Virtual Filers (vfilers) on a filer.

The vfiler command is available only if your filer has the vfiler license.

vfiler create vfilername [-n] [-s ipspace ] -i ipaddr [-i ipaddr ]… path [ path ...]

There are two ways to create a vfiler. The first uses the -i option to specify configuration information on the command line. Use this form when creating a vfiler for the first time

ex: fas3170> vfiler create test -s ipspace1 -i 192.168.42.142 /vol/fas6080a_vfiler1_root

vfiler create vfilername -r path

The second form uses the -r option to re-create a vfiler from configuration information stored in the specified data set. Use this form when creating a vfiler from a data store that has been Snapmirrored between filers.

Note: When re-creating a Snapmirrored vfiler using the vfiler create vfilername -r path form of the command, the specified vfiler_name parameter must match the name of the original vfile exactly, and the path must match the first path that was specified in the vfiler create command that originally created the vfiler.

vfiler destroy [-f] vfilername

vfiler rename old_vfilername new_vfilername

vfiler add vfilername [-f] [-i ipaddr [-i ipaddr]…] [ path [ path ...]]

The add subcommand adds the specified IP addresses and/or paths to an existing vfiler. The arguments have the same rules as those specified during the initial create. The -f option skips the confirmation and warnings.

Ex:  fas3170> vfiler add fas3170_vfiler2 /vol/fas6080b_vfiler1_nas_clone

vfiler remove vfilername [-f] [-i ipaddr [-i ipaddr]…] [ path [path ...]]

vfiler limit [ max_vfilers ]

NOTE: to increase this value, you must reboot for it to take effect.  Limits are based on memory.  In failover mode, a node can handle double the vfilers to handle the cluster partner.  The simulator is limited to 5 and defaults to 5.

–  FAS Controllers with <1GB RAM   11 max vFilers

–  FAS Controllers with >=1GB RAM 26 max vFilers

–  FAS Controllers with >=2GB Ram 65 max vFilers
