Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • CIFS
  • Vscan

Answer

  • Operations triggering a request can be controlled on CIFS share level with the Vscan File-Operations Profile
  • The default Vscan File-operation Profile is standard and Virus scans can be triggered by open, close, and rename operations.

Example

::> vserver cifs share modify -vserver svm1 -share-name share1 -vscan-fileop-profile standard

[-vscan-fileop-profile {no-scan|standard|strict|writes-only}] - Vscan File-Operations Profile
This optional parameter controls which operations trigger virus scans. The value can be one of the following:
o   no-scan: Virus scans are never triggered for this share.
o   standard: Virus scans can be triggered by open, close, and rename operations. This is the default profile.
o   strict: Virus scans can be triggered by open, read, close, and rename operations.
o   writes-only: Virus scans can be triggered only when a file that has been modified is closed.
