Publication number: 20230066137Abstract: An example file server manager provides a user interface for selection of a share of a source distributed file server to be replicated at a destination distributed file server, where the share of the source distributed file server is accessed using a first file server virtual machine at the source distributed file server. The file server manager configures a policy for replication of the share of the source distributed file server to the destination distributed file server based on input received at the user interface and displays, at the user interface, a replication status for the share of the source distributed file server. The replication status indicates that a share of the destination distributed file server corresponding to the share of the source distributed file server has been updated based on a snapshot of the source distributed file server.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 21, 2022Publication date: March 2, 2023Applicant: NUTANIX, INC.Inventors: Rama C.

Publication number: 20210224233Abstract: A virtualized file server (VFS) may include a plurality of file server virtual machines (FSVMs) that cooperatively manage a distributed file share of storage items. A data protocol server implemented by a first FSVM is configured to provide communication between a user device and the VFS responsive to a request from the user device to connect to the VFS. A common layer implemented by the first FSVM includes information management metadata for authorized users of the VFS. A web proxy at the first FSVM presents a user access list of storage items to the user device, where the user access list is based on user information received with the request from the user device to connect to the VFS.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2020Publication date: July 22, 2021Applicant: Nutanix, Inc.Inventors: Kalpesh Ashok Bafna, Hemanth Kumar Thummala, Anil Kumar Gopalapura Venkatesh, Mausumi Ranasingh, Rashmi Gupta, Satyajit Deshmukh, Shyamsunder Prayagchand Rathi
