Storage Virtual Machines window

You cannot manage (create, delete, start, or stop) an SVM configured for disaster recovery (DR) by using Storage Manager. Also, you cannot view the storage objects associated with the SVM configured for disaster recovery in the application interface.

Command buttons​

Create

Opens the Storage Virtual Machine (SVM) Setup wizard, which enables you to create a new SVM.

Edit

Opens the Edit Storage Virtual Machine dialog box, which enables you to modify the properties, such as the name service switch, name mapping switch, and aggregate list, of a selected SVM.

Delete

Deletes the selected SVMs.

Start

Starts the selected SVM.

Stop

Stops the selected SVM.

SVM Settings

Manages the storage, policies, and configuration for the selected SVM.

Protection Operations

Provides the following options:

Initialize

Enables you to initialize the SVM relationship to perform a baseline transfer from the source SVM to the destination SVM.

Update

Enables you to update data from the source SVM to the destination SVM.

Activate Destination SVM

Enables you to activate the destination SVM.

Resync from Source SVM

Enables you to initiate resynchronization of the broken relationship.

Resync from Destination SVM (Reverse Resync)

Enables you to resynchronize the relationship from the destination SVM to the source SVM.

Reactivate Source SVM

Enables you to reactivate the source SVM.

Refresh

Updates the information in the window.

Trace File Access

Enables you to trace the accessibility of a file or share on the selected SVM for a specified username.

SVM list​

The SVM list displays the name of each SVM and the allowed protocols on it.

You can view only data SVMs by using Storage Manager.

Name

Displays the name of the SVM.

State

Displays the SVM state, such as Running, Starting, Stopped, or Stopping.

Subtype

Displays the subtype of the SVM, which can be one of the following:

• default

  Specifies that the SVM is a data-serving SVM.

• dp-destination

  Specifies that the SVM is configured for disaster recovery.

• sync-source

  Specifies that the SVM is in the primary site of a MetroCluster configuration.

• sync-destination

  Specifies that the SVM is in the surviving site of a MetroCluster configuration.

Allowed Protocols

Displays the allowed protocols, such as CIFS and NFS, on each SVM.

IPspace

Displays the IPspace of the associated SVM.

Volume Type

Displays the allowed volume type, such as FlexVol volume, on each SVM.

Protected

Displays whether the SVM is protected or not.

Configuration State

Displays whether the configuration state of the SVM is locked or unlocked.

Details area​

The area below the SVM list displays detailed information, such as the type of volumes allowed, language, and Snapshot policy, about the selected SVM.

You can also configure the protocols that are allowed on this SVM. If you have not configured the protocols while creating the SVM, you can click the protocol link to configure the protocol.

You cannot configure protocols for an SVM configured for disaster recovery by using Storage Manager.

The color indicates the status of the protocol configuration:

You can also add the management interface and view details such as the protection relationships, protection policy, NIS domain, and so on.

The Details area also includes a link to view the Public SSL Certificate for an SVM. When you click this link, you can perform the following tasks:

• View certificate details, the serial number, the start date, and the expiration date.

• Copy the certificate to the clipboard.

• Email the certificate details.

Peer Storage Virtual Machines area​

Displays a list of the SVMs that are peered with the selected SVM along with details of the applications that are using the peer relationship.
