MultiStore

MultiStore is also know as vFiler. A Unified Storage System's storage space could be divided into vFiler units. Each vFiler unit is run by a separate administrator, and is available on a separate network interface. One vFiler cannot view the storage space owned by other vFiler units (except for the special vFiler units "vFiler zero", which is the actual physical machine). A variety of replication and migration options are available for the vFiler units. See NetApp on the Web (NOW) site and the Systems Administrators guide for more information about the capabilities of vFiler units.
