If HTTP access is disabled on the vFiler
Some environments with vFilers (7-mode) disable HTTP access to the vFiler. In this situation, the Data Collector must use tunneling to retrieve data from the vFiler.
To enable access via tunneling, add the security-api-vfiler parameter to the api role, as shown in the following example:
filer> useradmin role add apirole -a login-http-admin,api-*,security-api-vfiler
