3 ASSUMPTIONS AND CLARIFICATIONS OF SCOPE
Consumers of the TOE should consider assumptions about usage and environmental settings as requirements
for the product’s installation and its operating environment. This will ensure the proper and secure operation of
the TOE.
3.1 USAGE AND ENVIRONMENTAL ASSUMPTIONS
The following assumptions are made regarding the use and deployment of the TOE:
• There are no general-purpose computing capabilities (e.g., compilers or user applications) available on
the TOE, other than those services necessary for the operation, administration and support of the TOE.
• Physical security, commensurate with the value of the TOE and the data it contains, is provided by the
environment.
• TOE Administrators are trusted to follow and apply all administrator guidance in a trusted manner.
• iSCSI and Fibre Channel host identities properly reflect the adapters and hence the hosts to which they
are associated such that authentication is not necessary.
• A dedicated and protected management network exists between nodes of the TOE and hosts providing
supporting services (e.g., NTP, SNMP, SMTP or AD).
• Clients on the “Data Network” do not have direct access to the Internal or Management networks that
are used for managing, accessing, and supporting the TOE operations. The confidentiality, integrity, and
authenticity of the connection between the TOE and the host shall be protected by environment. The
NAS clients shall authenticate NAS users (i.e. users who access NFS, and users who access CIFS with AD
authentication mode) and managed user accounts properly.
• A dedicated and protected internal network exists that connects nodes of the TOE with network storage
devices.
• Network devices on the internal network do not intercept, impersonate or otherwise modify
communications on the internal network.
3.2 CLARIFICATION OF SCOPE
The TOE incorporates CAVP-validated cryptography and was not subjected to CMVP (FIPS-140) validation.

5 EVALUATION ANALYSIS ACTIVITIES
The evaluation analysis activities involved a structured evaluation of the TOE. Documentation and process
dealing with Development, Guidance Documents, and Life-Cycle Support were evaluated.
5.1 DEVELOPMENT
The evaluators analyzed the TOE functional specification and design documentation; they determined that the
design completely and accurately describes the TOE security functionality (TSF) interfaces, the TSF subsystems
and how the TSF implements the security functional requirements (SFRs). The evaluators analyzed the TOE
security architectural description and determined that the initialization process is secure, that the security
functions are protected against tamper and bypass, and that security domains are maintained. The evaluators
also independently verified that the correspondence mappings between the design documents are correct.
5.2 GUIDANCE DOCUMENTS
The evaluators examined the TOE preparative user guidance and operational user guidance and determined that
it sufficiently and unambiguously describes how to securely transform the TOE into its evaluated configuration
and how to use and administer the product. The evaluators examined and tested the preparative and
operational guidance, and determined that they are complete and sufficiently detailed to result in a secure
configuration.
Section 4.1 provides details on the guidance documents.
5.3 LIFE-CYCLE SUPPORT
An analysis of the TOE configuration management system and associated documentation was performed. The
evaluators found that the TOE configuration items were clearly marked.
The evaluators examined the delivery documentation and determined that it described all of the procedures
required to maintain the integrity of the TOE during distribution to the consumer.
The evaluators reviewed the flaw remediation procedures used by developer for the TOE. During a site visit, the
evaluators also examined the evidence generated by adherence to the procedures. The evaluators concluded
that the procedures are adequate to track and correct security flaws, and distribute the flaw information and
corrections to consumers of the TOE.

6 TESTING ACTIVITIES
Testing consists of the following three steps: assessing developer tests, performing independent functional tests,
and performing penetration tests.
6.1 ASSESSMENT OF DEVELOPER TESTS
The evaluators verified that the developer has met their testing responsibilities by examining their test evidence,
and reviewing their test results, as documented in the ETR.
The evaluators analyzed the developer’s test coverage analysis and found it to be complete and accurate. The
correspondence between the tests identified in the developer’s test documentation and the functional
specification was complete.
6.2 CONDUCT OF TESTING
The TOE was subjected to a comprehensive suite of formally documented, independent functional and
penetration tests. The detailed testing activities, including configurations, procedures, test cases, expected
results and observed results are documented in a separate Test Results document.
6.3 INDEPENDENT FUNCTIONAL TESTING
During this evaluation, the evaluator developed independent functional tests by examining design and guidance
documentation.
All testing was planned and documented to a sufficient level of detail to allow repeatability of the testing
procedures and results. The following testing activities were performed:
a. Repeat of Developer's Tests: The evaluator repeated a subset of the developers tests;
b. Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) Agent and SNMP Traps: The objective of this test case is
to demonstrate that Management Information Base objects can be accessed by valid SNMP users and
that the TOE can be configured to send SNMP messages to a SNMP trap receiver;
c. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol: The objective of this test case is to confirm that the TOE is capable of
sending e-mail;
d. iSCSI and VTL: The objective of this test case is to demonstrate that access control is enforced for the
iSCSI based VTL library;
e. Catalyst store: The objective of this test case is to demonstrate that access control is enforced for the
Catalyst store;
f. Network File System (NFS): The objective of this test case is to demonstrate that access control is
enforced for NFS shares;
g. Common Internet File System (CIFS): The objective of this test case is to demonstrate that access control
is enforced for CIFS shares;
h. Transport Layer Security (TLS): The objective of this test case is to demonstrate that the web GUI is
