File Persona Node Installation

The following checklist captures the information necessary to activate and install File Persona and
includes File Persona node networking and services such as naming, authentication, anti-virus and
backup. Each File Persona node is assigned an IP address that is used to connect to services such
as Active Directory and DNS. These IP addresses are not used for share access.
NOTE: File Persona nodes take their time from the 3PAR controllers. Ensure that the 3PAR
controllers are synchronized to an authoritative time source. If using Active Directory with File
Persona, ensure that the system and the Active Directory domain controllers synchronize their time
with the same source.
