How to implement NFS File Extension Filtering in VNX?

Question

Hello,

Recently I faced a query to implement File Extension filtering for my Unified VNX environment. On reading File Extension Filtering on VNX P/N 300-0130825 Re v01", I found:

" The File extension filtering limitations are as follows:

This feature works only for CIFS access. If your environment is a mixture of CIFS and NFS, NFS users are not affected by file extension filtering and are able to store prohibited files on the file system"

Are their any workaround for this??

Regards,

Waheed

Hi Waheed, Yet there is no solution discovered by emc, so you can't do filtering for NFS portion may be in future they will pitch some solution. Please correct me if i am wrong. Thanks,

3rd party tools that use the VEE protocol could do this for NFS as well – they could also do deep inspection

Varonis I think can do this – NTP or Northern Storage maybe as well

Ask your EMC contact about them – they are in EMC Select
