fix

The following are the requirements needed to successfully translate security for NetApp filers.

  • The account used to translate security must have administrative rights to the machine the agent will be sent to.
  • The agent must be launched to a Windows 2000 machine when asked where to dispatch the agent to.
  • The filer should be of the NetApp brand or at least have full emulation of NTFS and Net Share APIs.
  • Since filers do not support Windows NT backup and restore privileges. To translate security for files on a filer, you must have explicit access to the files.
  • It is recommended to provide a Domain Admin account from the domain that the network appliance is a member of when completing the 'Translate Security for Appliances' wizard.
