Applies to

  • ONTAP 9
  • Vscan

Answer

  1. All vscan tasks will fail
  2. With on-access configuration, subsequent file access behaviors are depending on scan-mandatory configuration.
  • On-access scan: Check for viruses when clients open, read, rename, or close files over CIFS
  • On-demand scan: Check files for viruses immediately or on a schedule
