   At the end of the file server discovery a refresh operation is triggered to make sure all file systems available on the file server appear in Oracle VM Manager. When the operation is complete, the available file systems are displayed in the management pane when you select the file server.

   You can change the name of the file systems by selecting the file system in the table and clicking Edit File System in the management pane toolbar.
