Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • FPolicy
  • CIFS
  • NFS

Answer

  • It is supported to have more than one FPolicy solution
  • One to control NFS operations and another to control CIFS operations
  • That configuration will not cause a conflict
NOTE:
  • If both FPolicies are configured to monitor the same file access events, it can lead to conflicts and unpredictable behavior
  • The two engines may try to take conflicting actions or duplicate actions on the same event, which can cause performance issues and inconsistencies in the applied policies
