Integration with Dell Isilon is currently accomplished via the Service Message Block (SMB) protocol. Before you begin, you should ensure that this protocol is enabled in your Dell Isilon configuration.
In order to integrate Dell Isilon with MetaDefender for Secure Storage please follow these steps:
- From the left side menu, navigate to Storage units and from the Network-Attached Storage tab, choose Add Dell Isilon Storage

Give your storage a name so you can easily identify it later
Enter the Username that has access to the share. (The user should have at least read and write security permissions)
Enter the Password.
Fill in the SharePath field which represents the path to the share. The following formats are currently supported:
- file://servername/pathToShare
- \servername\pathToShare
- //servername/pathToShare
- smb://servername/pathToShare
Select the MetaDefender Core Pool that you wish to use.
Click Add in order to finish the process.
If you use a hostname in the host portion of IPv4/v6 socket address, the program may show a non-deterministic behavior. The socket address will be resolved differently into an actual IPv4/v6 address, depending on the results from DNS resolution and/or the host configuration. For deterministic behavior use a numeric address in host portion.
