Connection Details

Host Name

The real name used when connecting to the CIFS server. This will be used by the SMB (CIFS) protocol.

Domain Name, Username, Password

Credentials for the user defined in the prerequisites.

Storage Cluster Name

The name configured in the Auditing section of the Isilon OneFS Admin Console under the Cluster Management >> Auditing settings tab.

If this is not configured, the name of the Isilon cluster itself, under Cluster Management >> General Settings.

Access Zone

(Optional) Use this field if configuring a separate application per access zone. See Configuring Clusters with Multiple Access Zones for further details.

The name of the access zone as it is configured in the Isilon cluster configuration, in the Access section of the Isilon OneFS Admin Console, under Access >> Access Zones.

Use OneFS API

Click this checkbox to enables / disable access to the OneFS API, and reversely, disable / enable tenant Isolation.

OneFS API is located only on the System zone and is used by the permission collection and activity monitor components of the Isilon connector to fetch Share Information as well as local users and roles for each individual access zone.

Unchecking this will disable the activity monitor access to the API and the information will be collected solely using the SMB protocol, and access only the managed Access Zone. Access to the Management API is no longer required for activity monitoring, and is skipped by default, using native SMB Access to the managed Access Zone instead.

However, you can choose to keep the old configuration and keep access the Management API on the System zone, to retrieve Share and Local Identities information.

Management IP

Valid only If access to the OneFS API is enabled, by checking the Use OneFS API checkbox above.

This field specifies the location of the Management API (System access zone).

This field accepts IP addresses and / or any resolvable DNS name (FQDN or otherwise).

Aliases

SmartConnect Zone Aliases used as alternative DNS Names for the CIFS Server. All aliases must be provided to ensure that all activities performed on that server, through all access paths, are monitored by File Access Manager.

These are available under the IP Pool Settings, in the Network Configuration section of the Isilon OneFS Admin Console, under the Cluster Management >> Network Configuration tab.

Type in an alias, and click + to add it to the list.
