Can vscan be used with any volume security style?
Applies to
- Vscan
- ONTAP Antivirus Connector
- NFS
- SMB/CIFS
Answer
Yes, any volume and qtree security style is supported with on-demand scanning, which only requires an ONTAP A/V Connector to connect to an SVM via SMB2 or later to facilitate the scan, hence the client access protocol unrelated.
Note: NFS operations do not trigger vscan requests, thus on-access scanning is only supported for SMB/CIFS access and not available for NFS clients.
Additional Information
- Conditions are valid with any supported Antivirus vendor, since this depending on ONTAP and not the AV engine
