Applying a scanner policy on a single cluster

A scanner policy determines whether a scanner pool is active. You must make a scanner pool active before the Vscan servers that are defined in the scanner pool can connect to an SVM.

1. Apply a scanner policy: vserver vscan scanner-pool apply-policy -vserver data_SVM -scanner-pool scanner_pool -scanner-policy primary|secondary|idle -cluster cluster_to_apply_policy_on

   A scanner policy can have one of the following values:

   • Primary specifies that the scanner pool is active.
   • Secondary specifies that the scanner pool is active only if none of the Vscan servers in the primary scanner pool are connected.
   • Idle specifies that the scanner pool is inactive.

   Example

   The following example shows that the scanner pool named SP on the vs1 SVM is active:

   cluster1::> vserver vscan scanner-pool apply-policy -vserver vs1 -scanner-pool SP  -scanner-policy primary
   
2. Verify that the scanner pool is active: vserver vscan scanner-pool show -vserver data_SVM|cluster_admin_SVM -scanner-pool scanner_pool

   For a complete list of options, see the man page for the command.

   Example

   The following command displays the details for the SP scanner pool:

   cluster1::> vserver vscan scanner-pool show -vserver vs1 -scanner-pool SP
   
                                       Vserver: vs1
                                  Scanner Pool: SP
                                Applied Policy: primary
                                Current Status: on
            Cluster on Which Policy Is Applied: cluster1
                     Scanner Pool Config Owner: vserver
          List of IPs of Allowed Vscan Servers: 1.1.1.1, 10.72.204.27
   List of Host Names of Allowed Vscan Servers: 1.1.1.1, vmwin204-27.fsct.nb
                      List of Privileged Users: cifs\u1, cifs\u2
   
   

   You can use the vserver vscan scanner-pool show-active command to view the active scanner pools on an SVM. For the complete command syntax, see the man page for the command.
