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.

Important

If you use an export policy on a CIFS server, you must add each Vscan server to the export policy.

Creating a scanner pool on a single cluster
A scanner pool defines the Vscan servers and privileged users that can connect to SVMs. You can create a scanner pool for an individual SVM or for all of the SVMs in a cluster.
Creating scanner pools in MetroCluster configurations
You must create primary and secondary scanner pools on each cluster in a MetroCluster configuration, corresponding to the primary and secondary SVMs on the cluster.
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.
Applying scanner policies in MetroCluster configurations
A scanner policy determines whether a scanner pool is active. You must apply a scanner policy to the primary and secondary scanner pools on each cluster in a MetroCluster configuration.
Commands for managing scanner pools
You can modify and delete scanner pools, and manage privileged users and Vscan servers for a scanner pool. You can view summary and details for a scanner pool.
