CAVA antivirus PowerScale

Question

I have the antivirus service configured on the powerscale using 3 CAVA servers. The service has multiple scan jobs configured, using the schedule policy. Each job scans a particular directory.

I have the following questions:

Jobs don't run simultaneously. First one job starts, and when it ends, the next one is executed, despite the fact that all jobs are configured to run at the same time. Is there a way to run jobs in parallel to shorten the processing time of all jobs?

If a job takes 3 days to run, what happens to the files that were added or modified while the job was running? Are they scanned in the next run window? So they have not been scanned for 3 days?

In ICAP, every time the antivirus signature was updated, the files were scanned even though they had not been modified or opened. At CAVA, is it the same procedure? I see that there are jobs that report 0 files scanned for several days despite having updated the antivirus signature. No errors or alarms are observed

Thanks in advance

Hello artidno, What is your current onefs version that you are running? When you configured your CAVA servers did you follow the steps in our admin guide for configuring CAVA?

Hello DELL-Sam L

Thanks for the answer. The OneFS version is 9.5.0.6 and the solution is already configured and working. My doubts refer to the behavior I see about the jobs configured and the time they take. I did not find a OneFS guide that explains in detail certain behaviors that can occur when the solution is already productive. If you can clear up those doubts, they would be of great help to finish understanding the solution.

Regards

Hello artidno, All jobs should run at the same time if that is the way it is configured. It is best to open a support case so that we can look into seeing what is going on.
