How is round-robin implemented when using multiple scan servers?
Applies to
- 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:
- 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.
- Then, the second scan server will scan the second file.
- Furthermore, the third scan server will scan the third file, and the first scan server will scan the fourth file.
