Known limitations in NetApp Data Classification

Known limitations identify functions that are not supported or do not interoperate correctly in this release. Review these limitations carefully.

NetApp Data Classification disabled options

The December 2023 (version 1.26.6) release removed the following options:

  • The option to activate audit log collection has been disabled.

  • During the Directories investigation, the option to calculate the number of personally identifiable information (PII) data by Directories is not available.

  • The option to integrate data using Azure Information Protection (AIP) labels has been disabled.

Data Classification scanning

The following limitations occur with Data Classification scans.

Data Classification scans only one share under a volume

If you have multiple file shares under a single volume, Data Classification scans the share with the highest hierarchy. For example, if you have shares like the following:

  • /A

  • /A/B

  • /C

  • /D/E

In this configuration, only the data in /A is scanned. The data in /C and /D is not scanned.

Workaround

There is a workaround to make sure you are scanning data from all the shares in your volume. Follow these steps:

  1. In the system, add the volume to be scanned.

  2. After Data Classification has completed scanning the volume, go to the Data Investigation page and create a filter to see which share is being scanned:

    Filter the data by "system Name" and "Directory Type = Share" to see which share is being scanned.

  3. Get the complete list of shares that exist in the volume so you can see which shares are not being scanned.

  4. Add the remaining shares to a share group.

    Add all the shares individually, for example:

    /C
/D

  5. Perform these steps for each volume in the system that has multiple shares.

Last accessed timestamp

When Data Classification conducts a scan of a directory, the scan impacts the directory’s Last accessed field. When you view the Last accessed field, that metadata reflects either the date and time of the scan or the last time a user accessed the directory.
