In Symantec Data Insight (SDI)the configuration of the Network Appliance (NetApp) filer for discovery, scanning, auditing on NFSshares or shares in mixed mode of CIFS and NFS requires an authentication domain be configured under LDAPor AD. Error There is no error displayed but the Select Domain option box will only have the refresh button available. Environment NetApp ONTAPI CIFS&NFS mixed mode shares Local account Authentication SDI 4.0 or later Microsoft Windows Operating System Cause When configuring NFS SDIrequires an authentication domain for configuration. Solution The SDIAdministrator can configure SDI to run against NetApp NFS for monitoring without an actual LDAP domain, but they will have to configure one in SDI in order to enable the selection. These steps will allow you to create a pseudo Directory Services Domain in SDI and add NFSmonitoring / auditing configuration. In the SDI console navigate to Settings (1) Click on directory services (2) Click Add new directory service(3) Select LDAP as your domain option (4) Create a pseudo LDAP server similar to below Do not test the connection. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save. Edit your existing NetApp filer configuration or add a new filer for which you deisre to Monitor NFSaccess events. Click Settings, filers Click name of existing filer Then add the NFS auditing by checking the box for monitoring during the NetApp filer configuration with the pseudo LDAP server. When events get registered, they will look something like this Note: demonstration is showing nobody due to not having configured using users, rather utilizing IP allow lists.Configuring logical domains and SFHA in OVM for SPARC environment with multiple IO Domains
