File Screening; Directory Quota Policies Page - HP ProLiant 300 Series Administration Manual

Figure 64 Directory Quota Policies page
Within each policy, there are a number of configuration screens that are presented in the form of a
wizard. The wizard collects the following information to create a policy:
• Policy name
• Disk space limit and unit of measurement
• Passive limit (If selected the limit issues warnings but does not prevent access.)
• Alarm threshold for severe and warning messages
• Notification for severe and warning messages
The notification field allows the creation of a message to be sent to the eventlog of the server or via Netbios
as a popup on the client machine. Netbios is not supported in all customer environments and the popup
function may not be supported. The notification includes macro functionality and variable definitions for
user custom messages. The help function (?) in the right hand corner of the UI provides an online guide to
building these macro function messages under the topic "Directory Quota Alarm Notification."
To modify any of these settings at a later time, click Properties after selecting a particular policy or
quota. In addition to policy settings for existing shares, default policies can be set in advance for new
devices added to the system by clicking Preferences on the Directory Quota page.

File screening

File screening allows the administrator to limit or monitor files based on extension, for example disallow
all .pst and .mp3 files. The filter is merely based on extensions and not the content of the files. Hence, if
a file extension is renamed away from .mp3 for example to .mpp, the filter software allows the file to
be stored. A complete online help guide in the WebUI is provided for file screening via the ? in the
right hand corner of the UI.
File screening is established in the policy settings. Screening groups contain a collection of authorized
and un-authorized file extensions. Filters determine which folders to exclude. Alarms, similar to the actions
when a quota threshold is exceeded, can be set up when an unauthorized file type is set up.
File screening includes the following features:
