Managing vFiles

Overview

This article is used to cover steps on adding an additional mount to an existing vFile and outlining post provision/migration ownership rules.

Adding an additional mount

1. Login to the Delphix Management application.

2. Select the vFile you want to edit.

3. From the Actions menu (...) select Disable.

4. In the Configuration tab select the Source sub-tab, a Pencil icon will appear on the right of the Additional Mount Points.

5. Click on the Pencil to edit the mount points.

6. In the Additional Mount Points window select the Plus icon to add additional mount points.

7. Click the checkmark to save.

8. From the Actions menu (...) Enable the vFile.

Post provision/migration ownership rules

When a new vFile VDB is provisioned, the ownership is changed to match the Environment User anytime a VDB is enabled. This could cause conflict in the ownership of existing files in a case where the VDB has just been migrated to a new host – the VDB files on the new host will now be owned by the new Environment User.
