  • ONTAP 9
  • Vscan

Answer

In ONTAP, for both on-access and on-demand scans, when multiple scan servers are utilized, files are distributed to the scan servers using a round-robin method.
 

For example:

  1. In an environment with three scan servers, if there are four input files on a NetApp device, the first scan server will scan the first file.
  2. Then, the second scan server will scan the second file.
  3. Furthermore, the third scan server will scan the third file, and the first scan server will scan the fourth file.
