VIRTUALIZED FILE SERVER USER VIEWS
First Claim
1. A system for managing a virtualization environment, the system comprising:
- a plurality of host machines, wherein each of the host machines comprises a hypervisor, one or more user virtual machines (user VMs), and a virtual machine controller;
one or more virtual disks comprising a plurality of storage devices, the one or more virtual disks being accessible by the virtual machine controllers, wherein the virtual machine controllers conduct I/O transactions with the one or more virtual disks;
a virtualized file server (VFS) comprising a plurality of file server virtual machines (FSVMs), wherein each of the FSVMs is running on one of the host machines and conducts I/O transactions with the one or more virtual disks, wherein the VFS is configured to;
receive a request for storage system information from a user; and
generate and send a response to the request, wherein the response is customized according to configuration information of the VFS that is specific to the user.

Abstract
In one embodiment, a system for managing a virtualization environment includes a plurality of host machines, wherein each of the host machines comprises a hypervisor and one or more user virtual machines (user VMs), and a virtual machine controller, one or more virtual disks comprising a plurality of storage devices, a virtualized file server (VFS) comprising a plurality of file server virtual machines (FSVMs), wherein each of the FSVMs is running on one of the host machines. The VFS may be configured to receive a request for storage system information from a user and generate and send a response to the request, wherein the response is customized according to configuration information of the VFS that is specific to the user. The storage system information requested may include a total size of storage available to the user, and the user may have an associated storage quota limit.
