NetApp 8.2+ Cluster Mode Requirements

According to the NetApp Architecture and File Access Manager section, each Vserver is represented as a single Application in File Access Manager. If multiple Activity Monitor services are installed on the same server, each Application must be configured with a unique dedicated port, which is the port the Activity Monitor receives the FPolicy communication.

The monitor server is required to be in the same segment. No firewalls can be in the middle.

  1. Create a domain user for the monitor: For example, siq_vservername (small lowercase is recommended).
  2. Verify the case in which the user name is written AD ( This field is case sensitive).
  3. Each Vserver requires its own monitor installed.
