Cause
Endpoint Security (ENS) with support for CAVA is required. ENS has support for CAVA.
CEE and CAVA are frameworks running on a Windows platform. The framework enables third-party antivirus engines to scan files that are stored on a Dell Celerra, VNXe, VNX, Unity, or VMAX eNAS and NAS array.
Resolution
The CAVA switch is required to install ENS with support for CAVA. For details on how to install the above, see McAfee Technical Article ID: KB88973
