Configuring virus scanning for a vFiler unit

You can configure virus scanning either to use or not use the virus scanner registered with the hosting storage system, if the virus scanner registered with the vFiler unit is unavailable.

Steps

  1. Enter the following command to specify the virus scanner for scanning files on a vFiler unit:
    vfiler run vfilertemplate vscan options use_host_scanners on | off

    When you set the use_host_scanners option to On, the vFiler unit uses the virus scanner registered with the hosting storage system. When this option is set to On, the hosting storage system and its vFiler units share the virus scanner. However, the vFiler unit uses the virus scanner registered with the hosting storage system only when the virus scanner registered with the vFiler unit is unavailable.

    You can set the use_host_scanners option to Off if you do not want to allow the vFiler unit to use the virus scanner registered with the hosting storage system.

    Note: The use_host_scanners option is applicable only to a vFiler unit you created. You cannot set it on vfiler0 or a storage system.

  2. Enter the following command to enable or disable virus scanning:
    vfiler run vfilertemplate vscan on | off
