How scanning of NetApp filer works

VirusScan Enterprise for Storage performs scanning operation when a scan request is received from

registered filers.

For Cluster-Mode scanning, VirusScan Enterprise for Storage requires Clustered Data ONTAP Antivirus

Connector software. The software must run on the same scanner server, where McAfee VirusScan

Enterprise for Storage is running. When the loop-back IP address (127.0.0.1) is added to the scanner

server, the scanner establishes connection with the software.

VirusScan Enterprise for Storage requires Data ONTAP Antivirus Connector software from NetApp only if

Data ONTAP 8.2.1 or later version filers configured in Cluster-Mode are connected.

For more information about adding the loop-back IP address to the scanner server, see Configure

NetApp filers scan settings.

VirusScan Enterprise for Storage supports NetApp Data ONTAP 8.2.1 and later, using the Clustered

Data ONTAP Antivirus Connector software from NetApp.

For more information about downloading Clustered Data ONTAP Antivirus Connector software and

technical assistance, contact NetApp support.

VirusScan Enterprise for Storage supports both 7-Mode and Cluster-Mode filers simultaneously.

This diagram presents an overview of the scanning process when reading, writing, and copying a file

from or to the NetApp filer.
