NS0-157 · Question #220

Within clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 or later, which two functionalities are supported with an external asynchronous FPolicy server? (Choose two)

The correct answer is A. Audit logging D. File Access. An external asynchronous FPolicy server in clustered Data ONTAP supports audit logging and file access notification without blocking the originating file operation.

Why each option

An external asynchronous FPolicy server in clustered Data ONTAP supports audit logging and file access notification without blocking the originating file operation.

AAudit loggingCorrect

Audit logging is a primary use case for asynchronous FPolicy servers because the file event notification is sent to the external server after the operation completes, allowing detailed activity records to be maintained without impacting client performance.

BCompression and decompression services

Compression and decompression services are handled natively by ONTAP's storage efficiency features and are not a function delegated to an external FPolicy server.

CEncryption and decryption services

Encryption and decryption services are managed by ONTAP's native encryption (NVE/NAE) or external key managers, not by FPolicy external servers.

DFile AccessCorrect

File access notifications can be sent asynchronously to an external FPolicy server, enabling the server to track and record file access events for compliance or monitoring purposes without holding up the client's I/O request.

EHierarchical storage management

Hierarchical storage management (HSM), which requires recalling data from secondary storage before granting access, typically requires a synchronous FPolicy engine so the server can intervene and fulfill the request before the client receives a response.
