Storage Virtual Machines : Managing SVMs : Editing SVM settings
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 
You can edit the values of the following properties of SVMs:
•
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
If you do not specify the aggregates for SVMs with Infinite Volume, the Infinite Volume spans across all the aggregates in the cluster.
Note: For FlexVol volumes, you can assign aggregates only if you have delegated administration to an SVM administrator.
