Steps to configure File Blocking
Table: Steps to configure File Blocking outlines the steps that are required to configure File Blocking for a Windows file server or a NetApp filer.
Note:
Note:
To use File Blocking in a Windows clustered file server environment, you must configure an FSA resource in the cluster group that holds the virtual server resource. See About using FSA with clustered file servers.
Table: Steps to configure File Blocking
Step | Action | Description |
---|---|---|
Step 1 | This step applies for NetApp filers only. Ensure that you have a target Windows file server that can run the File Blocking service on behalf of the NetApp filer. The Windows file server must have the FSA Agent installed. A Windows file server can perform File Blocking for more than one NetApp filer, but for best performance you are recommended to use one Windows file server per NetApp filer. Note: An Enterprise Vault server cannot act as a File Blocking agent server for a NetApp filer. | If necessary, add the Windows file server as a target in the Vault Administration Console. The Windows file server must have the FSA Agent installed. |
Step 2 | Add the file server on which you want to perform File Blocking as a target file server in the Administration Console. |
|
Step 3 | Define a local quarantine location for the file server. | |
Step 4 | Optionally, define a central quarantine location. If a central quarantine location is not configured or not available, the local quarantine locations are used. | See Defining a central quarantine location for File Blocking. |
Step 5 | Specify how Enterprise Vault is to send mail when a File Blocking rule requires a mail notification. | See Specifying the mail notification delivery mechanism for File Blocking. |
Step 6 | Include File Blocking rules in a volume policy, and apply the policy as required. | |
Step 7 | Optionally, specify for each file server, a list of users whose files are exempt from File Blocking. |
