Dell Unity Target Requirements

Netwrix Access Analyzer (formerly Enterprise Auditor) can execute Access Auditing (FSAA) and/or Sensitive Data Discovery Auditing scans on Dell Unity devices. The Netwrix Activity Monitor can be configured to monitor activity on Dell Unity devices and make the event data available for Access Analyzer Activity Auditing (FSAC) scans.

Access & Sensitive Data Auditing Permissions

The credentials used by the Access Analyzer scans must have the following permissions on the target host:

• Group membership in both of the following groups:

  • Power Users
  • Backup Operators

These permissions grant the credential the ability to enumerate shares, access the remote registry, and bypass NTFS security on folders. The credential used within the assigned Connection Profile for these target hosts requires these permissions. See the Dell Unity Access & Sensitive Data Auditing Configuration topic for instructions.

NOTE: These permissions are in addition to those needed to either deploy applet scans for running scans in proxy mode with applet or installing the File System Proxy Service Permissions for running scans in proxy mode as a service. See the File System Scan Options topic for additional information.

Troubleshooting Dell Unity Denied Access Errors

If there are folders to which the credential is denied access, it is likely that the Backup Operators group does not have the “Back up files and directories” right. In that case, it is necessary to assign additional the “Back up files and directories” right to those groups or to create a new local group, using Computer Management from a Windows server. Then assign rights to it using the CelerraManagementTool.msc plugin, which is available to Dell customers. For further information, see the Celerra guide Using Windows Administrative Tools on VNX found on the Celerra website.

Access & Sensitive Data Auditing Port Requirements

The firewall ports required by Access Analyzer for Access Auditing (FSAA) and/or Sensitive Data Discovery Auditing scans are based on the File System scan mode to be used. See the File System Scan Options topic for additional information.

Activity Auditing Permissions

Windows Proxy Server for Activity Agent Monitoring of Dell Unity

The Netwrix Activity Monitor must have an Activity Agent deployed on a Windows proxy server. While actively monitoring, the Activity Agent generates activity log files stored on the proxy server. The credential used to deploy the Activity Agent must have the following permissions on the proxy server:

• Membership in the local Administrators group
• READ and WRITE access to the archive location for Archiving feature only

It is also necessary to enable the Remote Registry Service on the Activity Agent server.

For integration between the Activity Monitor and Access Analyzer, the credential used by Access Analyzer to read the activity log files must have also have this permission.

Dell Unity Requirements

Additionally, the EMC Common Event Enabler (CEE) should be installed on the Windows proxy server, where the activity agent is deployed.

RECOMMENDED: Use the latest available CEE version from the Dell Support website.

EMC CEE requires .NET Framework 3.5 to be installed on the Windows proxy server in order for the EMC CEE service to start.

See the Dell Unity Activity Auditing Configuration topic for instructions.

Activity Monitor Archive Location

If the activity log files are being archived, configurable within the Netwrix Activity Monitor Console, then the credential used by Access Analyzer to read the activity log files must also have READ and WRITE permissions on the archive location.

Activity Auditing Port Requirements

Firewall settings depend on the type of environment being targeted. The following firewall settings are required for communication between the Agent server and the Netwrix Activity Monitor Console:

Communication Direction	Protocol	Ports	Description
Activity Monitor to Agent Server	TCP	4498	Agent Communication

The Windows firewall rules need to be configured on the Windows server, which require certain inbound rules be created if the scans are running in applet mode. These scans operate over a default port range, which cannot be specified via an inbound rule. For more information, see the Microsoft Connecting to WMI on a Remote Computer article.

Additional Firewall Rules for Dell Unity Devices

The following firewall settings are required for communication between the CEE server/ Activity Monitor Activity Agent server and the target Dell device:

Communication Direction	Protocol	Ports	Description
Dell Device CEE Server	TCP	RPC Dynamic Range	CEE Communication
CEE Server to Activity Agent Server (when not same server)	TCP	RPC Dynamic Range	CEE Event Data

Additional Firewall Rules for Integration between Access Analyzer and Activity Monitor

Firewall settings are dependent upon the type of environment being targeted. The following firewall settings are required for communication between the agent server and the Access Analyzer Console:

Communication Direction	Protocol	Ports	Description
Access Analyzer to Agent Server	TCP	445	SMB, used for Agent Deployment
Access Analyzer to Agent Server	TCP	Predefined	WMI, used for Agent Deployment
