6.5 HP StoreAll OS User Guide

Defining protocol-specific policies
For certain file sharing protocols (currently only SMB/CIFS), you can specify the file operations
that trigger a scan. There are three policies:
• OPEN (Default). Scan when the file is opened.
• CLOSE. Scan when the file is closed.
• BOTH. Scan when a file is opened and closed.
NOTE: If you select CLOSE, older written files are not scanned automatically when the virus scan
engine is updated with newer virus definitions. Also, there is a delay of 35 seconds before the file
is scanned after the file closes to flush all data. If file is opened or read during this time, it is not
scanned.
Because virus detection and virus definition file updates always lag the discovery of new viruses,
HP strongly recommends that you select BOTH. This ensures that when older written files are opened,
they are protected against virus infections. You should only select CLOSE when it is necessary to
improve performance by limiting the time needed for a virus scan to a closed file.
To set the policy:
1. Select Protocol Scan Settings from the lower Navigator tree.
The AV Protocol Settings panel displays the current setting.
2. To set or change the setting, click Modify and then select the appropriate policy.
