Configuration

The creation of a new jobs in the Peer Management Center will automatically walk you through entering the most important settings for use in EMC environments. If you need to modify existing settings or tune advanced settings, you can do so by following these steps:

1.Right-click on a File Collaboration, File Synchronization, File Locking, or File Replication job and click Edit Job(s).

2.Click on the Participants page on the left.

3.Select the Peer Agent that is managing the appropriate EMC storage device then click the Edit Detector Settings button.

NAS-Preferences-EMC

4.A configuration dialog will be displayed showing various settings used to tune how the Agent will communicate with its associated EMC storage device.

With EMC Isilon devices, the following configuration options are available:

NAS-Preferences-EMC-Isilon

EMC Isilon Options

Filter open events from these users	A comma-separated list of user names to exclude from access event detection . For example, if "USER1" is excluded, any access event activity generated by USER1 will be ignored, e.g., file is opened and closed.
Access Event Suppression Time	Represents the number of seconds that an open event will be delayed before being processed. Used to help reduce the amount of chatter generated by Windows 7 clients when mousing over files in Windows Explorer. The default value is -1, which will use a global set value. A value of 0 will allow for dynamic changes to the amount of time that an open event will be delayed based on the load of the system.
Raw Event Logging	Enables raw event logging for event detection debugging. Technical support may ask you to enable this feature if you are experiencing certain issues.
Advanced Configuration	Advanced settings for Event Detection and logging that will override the defaults. Technical support will provide you with a value to put in this field if you are experiencing certain issues.

Advanced Settings for EMC Isilon

Filtered IP Addresses	Events generated from these IP addresses will be filtered. It is recommended that the IP address of the CEE Server is added to this list.
Nodes	Comma-delimited listed of additional node IP address to query for open files. These addresses must be accessible from the CEE Server where the Agent is running.
Cluster IP	The cluster IP address of the Isilon system.
Custer Port	The cluster port number of the Isilon system. Default value is 8080.
Cluster Username	Username used to sign into the Isilon cluster.
Cluster Password	Password used to sign into the Isilon cluster.
Validate Cluster	If enabled, the Isilon cluster will be validated both on registration and periodically by a maintenance thread.

With EMC Unity devices, the following configuration options are available:
