VNX CAVA can scan only specific file systems?

Hi there,

I configured CAVA for VNX and started a *.*- full scan on the CS. It then appeared to me that it might take ages since I didnt consider that not only a certain file system is being scanned but all of them. Is there a way, apart from remounting a filesystem with noscan flag to exclude a filesystem from being scanned? Would a noscan mount necessarily result in the filesystem to become unavailble during the remounting?

best regards,

Steven

    I just got it. I started the scan on a specific filesystem. Hence not all file systems are being scanned. I got confused with the on access scanner

    cheers

    check the syntax of server_viruschk

    There is an option to stop a scan on file system

    EXAMPLE #8

    ----------

    To stop a scan on a file system, type:

    $ server_viruschk server_2 -fsscan ufs1 -delete

    server_2 : done

    Hi Peter,

    Thanks. I don't like to stop the scan itself but only scan a specific filesystem or exclude a number of filesystems from the scan. The scanner started to scan each file in every file system.

    Hi Britten,

    I found this information:

    CAVA will scan a file in the following instances:

         CAVA will scan files for a virus the first time that a file is read, subsequent to the initial implementation of CAVA and any      updates to virus definitions.

         Creating, modifying, or moving a file

         When restoring a file (or files) from backup

         When renaming a file with a different file extension

         Whenever an administrator performs a full file system scan (with the server_viruschk command) .

    Thanks
