ARX and Setting Up FCI

Our environment currently utilizes a hardware ARX for file tiering and virtualization on the SAN. The business has now requiring we implement the FCI Role on a server to aid in classifying our files. As we bring up the FCI Server we will need to scan all of the files on network share, and tag them with appropriate metadata for identification purposes.

 

 

The issue, or rather question confronting us is, will the ARX see the FCI scan and tag events as a file open and then move them to a higher tier? We cannot have this happen.

 

 

So, is there a way to interface the two systems so the ARX is notified of what FCI is doing?

 

 

Thank you,
