Editing SVM settings

You can edit the properties of Storage Virtual Machines (SVMs), such as the name service switch, name mapping switch, and aggregate list.

About this task

•	Name service switch

•	Name mapping switch

•	Protocols that are allowed to serve data

Note: The CIFS protocol that is configured on the SVM continues to serve data even when you disallow it on that SVM.

•	The list of the aggregates that are available to create volumes

Note: If you do not specify the aggregates for SVMs with Infinite Volume, then the Infinite Volume spans across all the aggregates in the cluster.

Steps

1.	From the home page, double-click the appropriate storage system.

2.	Expand the Storage Virtual Machines hierarchy in the left navigation pane.

3.	In the navigation pane, select the appropriate cluster.

4.	Select the SVM that you want to edit and click Edit.

5.	Make the necessary changes and click Save and Close.
