Conguring AntiVirus Scanning
To perform antivirus scanning, you must add an antivirus server and then enable antivirus scanning on a per SMB share basis.
NOTE: If any of the external services are congured with IPv6 link-local addresses, the monitor will always show these
services as
Unavailable.
Add an Antivirus Server
Add one or more antivirus servers. Add multiple antivirus servers to achieve high-availability of virus scanning, and reduce the
latencies for le access. NAS antivirus allocates scanning operations to the anti-irus servers to maximize the available scanning
bandwidth. The fewer the available antivirus servers, the more time required to scan les.
Prerequisites
• The antivirus server must be network accessible. The server should be located on the same subnet as the FluidFS cluster.
• The antivirus server must run a supported ICAP-enabled antivirus application.
• The antivirus server must be present and working. If no server is available, le access is denied to clients.
Steps
1. Click the Storage view and select a FluidFS cluster.
2. Click the File System tab.
3. In the File System tab navigation pane, select Data Protection.
4. In the right pane, click the AntiVirus tab.
5. Click Add AntiVirus Scanner. The Add AntiVirus Scanner dialog box appears.
6. In the Name eld, type the host name or IP address of the antivirus server.
7. In the Port eld, type the port that the FluidFS cluster uses to connect to the antivirus server. The default port number is 1344.
8. Click OK.
Delete an Antivirus Server
Delete an antivirus server when it is no longer available.
Prerequisite
If you have only one antivirus server, you cannot delete that server until you rst disable antivirus scanning on all SMB shares.
Steps
1. Click the Storage view and select a FluidFS cluster.
2. Click the File System tab.
3. In the File System tab navigation pane, select Data Protection.
4. In the right pane, click the AntiVirus tab.
5. Select an antivirus server and click Delete. The Delete dialog box appears.
6. Click OK.
Enable or Disable Antivirus Scanning for an SMB Share
Antivirus scanning is enabled or disabled on a per SMB share basis.
Prerequisite
You must congure antivirus servers before enabling anti-virus scanning for an SMB share.
Steps
1. Click the Storage view and select a FluidFS cluster.
2. Click the File System tab.
