Clariion does not use Windows file system, look at Ankit's description here

No it doesn’t use the Windows file system – not for the data it is serving FC or ISCSI

As Dynamox said, Celerra and VNX file uses UxFS (Universal extended File System). A file system is created on meta volumes of type UxFS and the same is then shared over network as NFS exports or CIFS shares.
