F-Policy Proxy Computer Configuration for NetApp C-Mode Filer

Applicable to: C-Mode Filer

You must configure an F-Policy proxy computer.

Procedure

1. Create the EnableCModeFeature additional setting on the proxy computer. For more information on adding the additional setting, see Add or Modify an Additional Setting.

2. Restart services on your proxy computer.

   The proxy computer is automatically registered to the file server.

   Important:

   • By default, proxy computer uses HTTP protocol port 80 to connect to the NetApp file server. To use a different port number, create the FilerHttpPort additional setting on the proxy computer.

     For instructions on adding the additional settings from the CommCell Console, see Adding or Modifying Additional Settings from the CommCell Console.

     Property	Value
     Name	FilerHttpPort
     Category	WinFSDataMigrator
     Type	Integer
     Value	any valid port number from 80 to 64000

   • By default, the proxy computer uses listener port 10200 to connect to the NetApp file server. To use a different listener port number, create the FPOLICY_CMODE_PROXYPORT_VALUE additional setting on the proxy computer.

     For instructions on adding the additional settings from the CommCell Console, see Adding or Modifying Additional Settings from the CommCell Console.

     Property	Value
     Name	FPOLICY_CMODE_PROXYPORT_VALUE
     Category	WinFSDataMigrator
     Type	Integer
     Value	any valid port number from 8000 to 65000

     Note

     To overcome possible issues with connecting to the NetApp file server, ensure that the network firewall allows all IPs of a Vserver including management IP to communicate with proxy port 10200 for F-Policy NetApp archiving.

   • When NetApp C-Mode archiving needs to be supported by HTTPS instead of HTTP, use the nUseHttps additional setting.

     For instructions on adding the additional settings from the CommCell Console, see Adding or Modifying Additional Settings from the CommCell Console.

     Property	Value
     Name	nUseHttps
     Category	WinFSDataMigrator
     Type	Boolean
     Value	0,1

   • To exclude IP that does not satisfy requirements for archiving, use the FPolicyCMode_ExcludedCifsAddresses additional setting.

     Property	Value
     Name	FPolicyCMode_ExcludedCifsAddresses
     Category	WinFSDataMigrator
     Type	String
     Value	<semicolon_seperated_list_of_IP_addresses>

3. To register the proxy computer to the NetApp file server, you must have run at least one archiving job for the NetApp client.

4. Run the following command on the file server to verify the proxy computers registered to the vserver:

   nacluster2::security login> fpolicy show-engine -vserver nac2vs2
