Fpolicy sample don't work properly

eric_zoglman — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 07:33:20 GMT

I use an fpolicy sample from Manage ONTAP SDK 1.6. Registration ( FP_Registration ) and binding pass without errors. On a simulator I create fpolicy. But filer calls not FP_ScreenRequest. Calls only FP_ServerStatus and FP_ShutdownCP. In what there can be a problem and how to receive calls FP_ScreenRequest?

The equipment:

NetApp Release 7.2

Red Hat Linux WS 4

VMWare Workstation

Manage ONTAP SDK 1.6

NetAppSim> fpolicy show default

File policy default (file screening) is enabled.

In your exapmle the fpolicy server is connected since 1 second. Have you created, edited, closed a file before capturing the fpolicy output?

Fpolicy requests are only created when you do something on the files. For example open or rename a file over cifs.

Are you using plain ONTAP 7.2? Maybe you want to go to a later release like 7.2.5.1.

It's illustration only. Really I keep connection by hours. Create, open, modify, close files.

In addition to ONTAP 7.2 I try ONTAP 7.2.4, 7.3.

But result don't change 😕
