- Deciding whether to use the Antivirus Configuration Guide
This guide describes how to use Lenovo virus scanning, called Vscan, to protect data from being compromised by viruses or other malicious code. It shows you how to use on-access scanning to check for viruses when clients access files over CIFS, and how to use on-demand scanning to check for viruses immediately or on a schedule. - Understanding Lenovo virus scanning
You can use integrated antivirus functionality on Lenovo storage systems to protect data from being compromised by viruses or other malicious code. Lenovo virus scanning, called Vscan, combines best-in-class third-party antivirus software with ONTAP features that give you the flexibility you need to control which files get scanned and when. - Vscan server installation and configuration
You must set up one or more Vscan servers to ensure that files on your system are scanned for viruses. Follow the instructions provided by your vendor to install and configure the antivirus software on the server. Follow the instructions in the readme file provided by Lenovo to install and configure the ONTAP Antivirus Connector. - Configuring scanner pools
A scanner pool defines the Vscan servers and privileged users that can connect to SVMs. A scanner policy determines whether a scanner pool is active. - Configuring on-access scanning
You can use on-access scanning to check for viruses when clients open, read, rename, or close files over CIFS. Your setting in the -vscan-fileop-profile option for the vserver cifs share create command defines which operations on a CIFS share can trigger virus scanning. - Configuring on-demand scanning
You can use on-demand scanning to check files for viruses immediately or on a schedule. You might want to run scans only in off-peak hours, for example, or you might want to scan very large files that were excluded from an on-access scan. - Enabling virus scanning on an SVM
You must enable virus scanning on an SVM before an on-access or on-demand scan can run. The Vscan configuration must exist. - Resetting the status of scanned files
Occasionally, you might want to reset the scan status of successfully scanned files on an SVM by using the vserver vscan reset command to discard the cached information for the files. You might want to use this command to restart the virus scanning processing in case of a misconfigured scan, for example. - Viewing Vscan event log information
You can use the vserver vscan show-events command to view event log information about infected files, updates to Vscan servers, and the like. You can view event information for the cluster or for given nodes, SVMs, or Vscan servers. - Troubleshooting connectivity issues
You can use the vserver vscan connection-status show commands to view information about Vscan server connections that you might find helpful in troubleshooting connectivity issues. - Contacting Support
You can contact Support to obtain help for your issue. - Notices
