Preparing Symantec Data Insight for Fpolicy
The Symantec Data Insight FPolicy server can reside on the Management Server and/or on each Collector worker node. The Management Server and/or the Collector worker node must register with the NetApp filer to receive audit information. Before you assign a Data Insight server as a collector for a NetApp filer, you must configure the FPolicy service on that server.
To set up the environment for Symantec Data Insight FPolicy service
- Provision a Windows 2003 or 2008 server in the same Active Directory domain as the filers you wish to monitor using Fpolicy. This machine hosts the FPolicy server. If your filers belong to different untrusted domains, you can add the server to any one domain.
- Install the Data Insight Collector worker node or the Data Insight Management Server on this server.
