Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • VMware NFS datastore
  • Autonomous Ransomware Protection (ARW / ARP)

Answer

  • Autonomous Ransomware Protection does not indicate the particular file(s) that cause alerts.
  • If repeated ransomware alerts are seen for an NFS datastore, the alerts may be related to VMware .lck files.
