how to respond to NetApp C-Mode from Fpolicy server with the file data.

SURESHDULANGE — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:37:08 GMT

I am stuck at the one more place.

We have developed a FPolicy server for Netapp 8.2 C-Mode. All communication between Fpolicy server and NetApp is through xml.

We are looking for the ways to handle SMB_RD request notification.

We have a legacy code for 7-mode fpolicy server, where fpolicy server responds with the file data using FP_FileData function .

I want to do same thing for the C-mode fpolicy server. How to send the file data to NetApp server in response to SMB_RD request notification.

Thanks in advance

you will need to use 8.3 or higher if you want a pass through read functionality

thanks for your response i m understand your reply but i developed a tool for 7-mode for monitoring cifs file access events. I used fprequest or fpcompeletion code (FP_screenrequest) for get notification at fpolicy server site but i don't know how we develelop server site code for cluster mode. if you have any test sample or any related apis (like nogo_resp,nogo_req or keep_alive etc.) or idl files please help me

as a start you need to get the netapp-manageability sdk - you can download it from http://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/software/ if you have the relevant permissions

7-mode and cluster mode implement fpolicy with different protocols, you will need to get the cluster mode documentation from your netapp representative
