finding out when full filesystem virus scan completes

We are scheduling full filesystem virus scans to run overnight on our filesystems.  In the morning, how would we find out the exact time the scans completed so we can safely schedule the larger filesystems to run without impacting the production day?

    Assuming you are running these from the NAS using CAVA and not scanning a mapped drive, there is an entry posted in the log when the scan completes, you can run server_log server_x to see this.  I forget the message or I would give you information to grep for.  If should be in the AV facility, so you could grep fro that to limit the data to look through.

    That sounds like exactly what i need.  I have tried running server_log but I'm only getting an hour or so of logs showing when i run

    server_log server_x -a -s  or server_log server_x -s

    Is there a way i can get more historic log data showing??

    Hi Bhoran,

    there is probably an easier way. Take a look at the

    Configuring EMC Celerra Events and Notifications

    manual available on the Doc CD or from Powerlink

    There are VC events like this:

    Base ID      Message ID           Severity         

      11    90468057099  NOTICE(5) 

       

    Brief description

    Scanning was completed for file system ${fsid,2,%d} mounted

    on ${mountPath,8,%s}. ${dirs,2,%d} directories were scanned

    and ${files,2,%d} files were submitted to the scan engine.

    Through Celerra Manager or CLI you can trigger on these events and get an EMail sent, generate a SNMP trap or run a command.

    I havent tried if its applicable to a manual scan - just try it and let us know how it worked
