Notes
-
For a proxy FPolicy server on a Windows 2008 or 2012 computer, the file server must use ONTAP version 8.0.2 and later. However, if you are using an ONTAP version older than 8.0.2, then the proxy FPolicy server must be configured on a Windows 2003 computer.
-
Ensure that the Fpolicy Proxy computers selected as the primary client and secondary client are in the same domain as that of the file server. For more information, see Configuring F-Policy Proxy and Data Access Nodes.
Miscellaneous
Note: To back up and restore data in an IPv6 environment, see Configuring IPv6 for OnePass and CommCell Network Internet Protocol Requirements.
For standalone installs of File Share Archiver Clients, it is required to have the .NET Framework 2.0 Redistributable Package installed on the computer.
.NET Framework
.NET Framework 4.0 is automatically installed. Note that .NET Framework 4.0 can co-exist with other versions of this software.
Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 is Automatically Installed
Starting in Service Pack 18, Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 (vcredist2017.exe) is automatically installed. If a computer does not have the latest Windows updates, the installation of Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2017 will fail in installing Universal C Runtime.
The following Windows updates must be installed to prevent the installation failure:
KB2919355
KB2939087
KB2975061
KB2999226
Updates are not required on latest Windows operating system versions, such as Microsoft Windows 10 and Microsoft Windows Server 2016, as these versions come with the Universal C Runtime already installed.
