Managing FPolicy server connections

You can manage your FPolicy server connections by connecting to external FPolicy servers, disconnecting from external FPolicy servers, or displaying information about connections and connection status.

  • Connecting to external FPolicy servers
    To enable file processing, you might need to manually connect to an external FPolicy server if the connection has previously been terminated. A connection is terminated after the server timeout is reached or due to some error. Alternatively, the administrator might manually terminate a connection.
  • Disconnecting from external FPolicy servers
    You might need to manually disconnect from an external FPolicy server. This might be desirable if the FPolicy server has issues with notification request processing or if you need to perform maintenance on the FPolicy server.
  • Displaying information about connections to external FPolicy servers
    You can display status information about connections to external FPolicy servers (FPolicy servers) for the cluster or for a specified storage virtual machine (SVM). This information can help you determine which FPolicy servers are connected.
  • Displaying information about the FPolicy passthrough-read connection status
    You can display information about FPolicy passthrough-read connection status to external FPolicy servers (FPolicy servers) for the cluster or for a specified storage virtual machine (SVM). This information can help you determine which FPolicy servers have passthrough-read data connections and for which FPolicy servers the passthrough-read connection is disconnected.
