Abstract
An example file server manager disclosed herein receives a registration for a distributed file server, where the distributed file server is hosted in a virtualization environment and includes a cluster of file server virtual machines configured to provide access to a file system. The file server manager further synchronizes metadata with the distributed file server, the metadata including identification of each of the file server virtual machines of the cluster of file server virtual machines, the metadata including information regarding the file system and receiving a management request for the distributed file server. The file server manager further formats the management request for the virtualization environment based on the metadata and utilizing information from the registration to access the distributed file server with the formatted management request.
