Managing CEPA pool configuration
Event pools configure the types of events published by the NAS Server, and the addresses of CEPA servers.
Events Publishing must be enabled for both the NAS server and the file system. Certain types of events can be enabled for either the NFS protocol, the SMB protocol, or both NFS and SMB on a file system basis.
| Attributes | Description |
|---|---|
| Pre-events | Lists the selected pre-events. The NAS server sends a request event notification to the CEPA server before an event occurs and processes the response. The valid events are defined in the table that follows. |
| Post-events | Lists the selected post-events. The NAS server sends a notification after an event occurs. The valid events are defined in the table that follows. |
| Post-error events | Lists the selected post-error events. The NAS server sends notification after an event generates an error. The valid events are defined in the table that follows. |
| Attributes | Definition | Protocol |
|---|---|---|
| OpenFileNoAccess | Sends a notification when a file is opened for a change other than read or write access (for example, read or write attributes on the file). |
|
| OpenFileRead | Sends a notification when a file is opened for read access. |
|
| OpenFileReadOffline | Sends a notification when an offline file is opened for read access. |
|
| OpenFileWrite | Sends a notification when a file is opened for write access. |
|
| OpenFileWriteOffline | Sends a notification when an offline file is opened for write access. |
|
| OpenDir | Sends a notification when a directory is opened. | SMB/CIFS |
| FileRead | Sends a notification when a file read is received over NFS. | NFS (v3/v4) |
| FileWrite | Sends a notification when a file write is received over NFS. | NFS (v3/v4) |
| CreateFile | Sends a notification when a file is created. |
|
| CreateDir | Sends a notification when a directory is created. |
|
| DeleteFile | Sends a notification when a file is deleted. |
|
| DeleteDir | Sends a notification when a directory is deleted. |
|
| CloseModified | Sends a notification when a file is changed before closing. |
|
| CloseUnmodified | Sends a notification when a file is not changed before closing. |
|
| CloseDir | Sends a notification when a directory is closed. | SMB/CIFS |
| RenameFile | Sends a notification when a file is renamed. |
|
| RenameDir | Sends a notification when a directory is renamed. |
|
| SetAclFile | Sends a notification when the security descriptor (ACL) on a file is changed. | SMB/CIFS |
| SetAclDir | Sends a notification when the security descriptor (ACL) on a directory is changed. | SMB/CIFS |
| SetSecFile | Sends a notification when a file security change is received over NFS. | NFS (v3/v4) |
| SetSecDir | Sends a notification when a directory security change is received over NFS. | NFS (v3/v4) |
Limits
- One event pool can have maximum of five CEPA server addresses.
- One event publisher can have a maximum of three event pools.
- One NAS server can have only one event publisher associated with it.
