Steps creating VFiler
The following conditions must be met before you can create a vFiler unit :
• You must create at least one unit of storage (qtrees, volumes - traditional or flexible) before creating vfiler
• The storage unit that contains vFiler unit configuration information must be writable volume. It must not be a read-only file system.
sysntax:
vfiler create <vfiler name> -i <ip address> <Volume or Qtree path>
Below red colors are input to configure vfiler.
