Configure Service Policy

NOTE: This paragraph only applies to NetApp ONTAP version 9.10.1 and higher.

By default, the 'default-data-files' policy is applied to the SVM CIFS/SMB interface and HTTP/HTTPS options are not available. To make the ONTAPI available through HTTP/HTTPS ports on your SVM interface for Netwrix Auditor Server, configure the 'interface service'-policy. Below is an example of the configuration:

  1. Navigate to your cluster command prompt through the SSH/Telnet connection.

  2. Log in as a cluster administrator and review your current service-policy configuration. Run the following command:

    cluster1::> network interface show -vserver svm1 -fields service-policy

    Example output:

    vserver lif service-policy


    svm1 lif_svm1_126 default-data-files

    svm1 lif_svm1_349 default-data-files

    Where svm1 – is the name of your SVM,

    The lif_svm1_126 and lif_svm1_349 parameter is the svm1 logical interface.

    The default-data-files parameter is the service-policy applied to lif-s.

  3. To display the services available through the 'default-data-files' policy, run the following command:

    cluster1::> network interface service-policy show -vserver svm1 -policy default-data-files

    Example output:

    Vserver: svm1

    Policy Name: default-data-files

    Included Services: data-core, data-cifs, data-fpolicy-client, data-dns-server

    Service: Allowed Addresses: data-core: 0.0.0.0/0

    data-cifs: 0.0.0.0/0

    data-fpolicy-client: 0.0.0.0/0

    data-dns-server: 0.0.0.0/0

  4. Set the advanced privilege level to be able to create and modify the service-policy. Run the following command:

    cluster1::> set -privilege advanced

    Remember, The command prompt should be changed to “cluster1::*>

  5. Clone the existing 'default-data-files' LIF policy to be able using shares with a new service-policy. Run the following command:

    cluster1::*> network interface service-policy clone -vserver svm1 -policy default-data-files -target-policy netwrix-policy -target-vserver svm1

    Where the 'netwrix-policy' parameter is the name of new service-policy.

  6. Modify the new service-policy by adding services to access over http\https protocols. Run the following command:

    cluster1::*> network interface service-policy add-service -vserver svm1 -policy netwrix-policy -service management-http

    cluster1::*> network interface service-policy add-service -vserver svm1 -policy netwrix-policy -service management-https

  7. Return to the administrator privilege level. Run the following command:

    cluster1::*> set -privilege admin

  8. Apply a new service-policy to the SVM LIFs. Run the following command:

    cluster1::> network interface modify -vserver svm1 -lif lif_svm1_126 -service-policy netwrix-policy

    cluster1::> network interface modify -vserver svm1 -lif lif_svm1_349 -service-policy netwrix-policy

    NOTE: For better security, specify the allowed ip-addresses when adding the service. Double-check that your subnet is configured on the machine where Netwrix Auditor Server resides. Allowed-addresses are: 192.168.1.0/24.

  9. Check the current interface service-policy using command from the step 2:

    cluster1::> network interface show -vserver svm1 -fields service-policy

    Example output:

    vserver lif service-policy


    svm1 lif_svm1_126 netwrix-policy

    svm1 lif_svm1_349 netwrix-policy
