Also, page 21 of NetApp TR-3425 has a reference to these third party tools too: http://www.netapp.com/us/media/tr-3425.pdf

I am directly quoting from an email I received on 3/12/2014 from a NetApp representative: "NTP QFS and Northern NSS are two partners we have who will provide the FSRM solution based on Fpolicy. This will include File screening, user quota and file management features. They both have completed their cluster mode integration as well." -Aakash Shah From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Webster Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2014 10:51 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [NTSysADM] RE: File Server Resource Manager Aakash, Could you share the list of stuff NetApp recommended?

So if you are serving SMB/CIFS services directly from the NetApp (which is what we are doing), you unfortunately can't use FSRM in this scenario. There are third party commercial tools though that NetApp has recommended to us, but we haven't looked into them yet due to timing and budgetary constraints. -Aakash Shah From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Miller Bonnie L.

FSRM puts some data in the hidden System Volume Information folder on the drive that will be used with it. -Bonnie From: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Webster Sent: Thursday, March 27, 2014 7:57 AM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: [NTSysADM] File Server Resource Manager Can FSRM be used to control shares on NAS/SAN type devices? This customer has 90 users with over 10GB worth of crap on their home folder which resides either on a NetApp NAS or EMC SAN. They want to prevent users from saving audio and video type files along with other file types along with setting quotas on the home folders. Thanks Webster
