Preparing the ONTAP cluster for FPolicy

The Symantec Data Insight FPolicy server registers with the ONTAP cluster and receives file access events from it, if FPolicy is enabled and configured on the corresponding Vservers in the cluster. Symantec recommends that you automatically enable auditing when adding the clustered filers.

When you enable FPolicy from the Data Insight console, Data Insight automatically does the following:

Once you enable FPolicy on the Vserver, it initiates a TCP connection to the Data Insight FPolicy server.

To configure FPolicy on the ONTAP cluster using manual steps

  1. Launch a Telnet session with the Vserver on which you want to configure FPolicy.
  2. Run the following command to create an External Engine Object on the ONTAP shell:

    diontapclust::> vserver fpolicy policy external-engine create -vserver <Vserver name> -engine-name <choose an external engine name> -primary-servers <IP address of Data Insight FPolicy server> -port <port number on which Data Insight FPolicy server is listening> -extern-engine-type asynchronous -ssl-option no-auth

  3. Run the command to configure FPolicy to monitor specific CIFS events:

    diontapclust::> vserver fpolicy policy event create -vserver <Vserver name> -event-name <choose an event name> -protocol cifs -file-operations create, create_dir, delete, delete_dir, read,close, rename, rename_dir -filters first-read, close-with-modification

  4. Run the command to create a resident FPolicy on the Vserver:

    diontapclust::> vserver fpolicy policy create -vserver <Vserver name> -policy-name <choose a policy name> -events <specify list of events> -engine <specify engine name> -is-mandatory false

  5. Run the command to configure the scope of FPolicy:

    diontapclust::> vserver fpolicy policy create -vserver <Vserver name> -policy-name <choose a policy name> -events <specify list of events> -engine <specify engine name> -is-mandatory false
