Managing Antivirus scans
You can run an Antivirus scan at any time, and you can schedule periodic Antivirus scans of an
entire file system or directory. Multiple Antivirus scans can run in the cluster; however, you can run
only one scan task at a time on a specific AV-enabled file system. The Antivirus scan honors the
AV exclusion rules defined. Any directory or files that meet the exclusion criteria is not scanned.
You can view the status of active and inactive Antivirus scan tasks, and you can stop, pause, or
resume active tasks.
Recommendations for Antivirus scans:
•
Run Antivirus scans when the system is not being heavily used.
•
Configure your Antivirus scans so that a huge number of files in a subtree are not assigned
to an Antivirus scan.
•
Do not run Antivirus scans on many file systems at the same time as there is a resource limitation
on the AV daemon.
Keep in mind the following in regards to Antivirus scans:
•
Antivirus scan task let you specify a file system or directory path under which all the files will
be subjected to antivirus scans, which is different from on-access scanning, where a scan is
triggered, when the file is accessed by an application, typically during a open/read operation.
On-access scanning is done automatically by the kernel. The AV feature defines a mechanism,
which lets you run or schedule periodic Antivirus scans on an entire file system or directory
at any time.
•
Antivirus scans are independent of on-access scanning, and they can be run in parallel.
•
Antivirus scans are similar to on-access scans in that they continue to honor exclusion rules
defined by you.
When you set an Antivirus scan, you are asked to enter a value for the duration scan. The maximum
duration scan that can be provided is 168 hours (7 days). If a duration time is not provided for
the scan, all files in the given path are scanned without any timeout.
You can plan the scheduling option so that Antivirus scans run on multiple directories in serial. For
example, assume you have five directories on which you want to run Antivirus scans in a particular
priority order. You could schedule an Antivirus scan to run on the first directory for 2 hours maximum
(value in the Duration of Scans text box) at a set time. Then, schedule the scan task on the next
directory after 2 hours (T+2.15 (15 minutes extra as a previous Antivirus scan needs a few minutes
for cleanup)). Do the same steps for the next three directories.
Starting or scheduling Antivirus scans
You can start Antivirus scans by using the GUI or the CLI. Only the GUI provides the functionality
for scheduling Antivirus scans.
GUI
To start a scan or schedule periodic scans on the GUI:
1.
Select the file system to be scanned from the Filesystems panel.
2. Select Active Tasks > Antivirus Scan from the lower Navigator panel.
3. Click Start on the Antivirus Task Summary panel
You can also click New on the Active Tasks panel and then select Antivirus Scan as the task
type on the Starting a New Task dialog box.
