When you enable MultiStore,
Data ONTAP automatically creates a default
vFiler unit on the hosting
storage system that is named vfiler0. The vfiler0 unit owns all the resources of the
storage system. When you create
vFiler units and assign resources to them, the resources are assigned from vfiler0. Therefore, vfiler0 owns all resources that are not owned by nondefault
vFiler units.
The default vFiler unit exists as long as
MultiStore is enabled. On a
storage system with
MultiStore enabled, you cannot destroy vfiler0.
All information provided about the vFiler units is applicable to vfiler0, unless noted otherwise.
