You can perform management tasks on a vFiler unit by using the DataFabric Manager server.
You can run a command on a vFiler unit as a root user with privileges set to hosting storage systems or only the vFiler units. By default, if you run a command on a vFiler unit, the settings of the hosting storage system is used for vFiler communication. However, if you want to use the vFiler unit settings for vFiler communication, you must create a role in the DataFabric Manager server with privileges assigned to only the vFiler unit and run the command.
