Modify a scanner pool

Availability: This command is available to cluster and Vserver administrators at the admin privilege level.

Description

The vserver vscan scanner-pool modify command modifies a Vscan scanner pool. Scanner pool is a set of attributes which are used to validate and manage connection between clustered Data ONTAP and external virus-scanning server, or "Vscan server". It also specifies other parameters which are used for connection management.

Note This command is not supported for a Vserver with Infinite Volume.

Parameters

-vserver <vserver name> - Vserver

This parameter specifies the name of the Vserver on which you want to modify a scanner pool.

-scanner-pool <Scanner pool> - Scanner Pool

This parameter specifies the name of the scanner pool. Scanner pool name can be up to 256 characters long and is a string that can only contain any combination of ASCII-range alphanumeric characters (a-z, A-Z, 0-9), "_", "-" and ".".

[-hostnames <text>,…​] - List of Host Names of Allowed Vscan Servers

This parameter specifies a list of host names or IP addresses of the Vscan servers which are allowed to connect to clustered Data ONTAP.

[-privileged-users <Privileged user>,…​] - List of Privileged Users

This parameter specifies a list of privileged users. A valid form of privileged user-name is "domain-name\user-name" and can be up to 256 characters long. Privileged user-names are stored and treated as case-insensitive strings. Virus scanners must use one of the registered privileged users for connecting to clustered Data ONTAP for exchanging virus-scanning protocol messages and to access file for scanning, remedying and quarantining operations.

[-request-timeout <[<integer>h][<integer>m][<integer>s]>] - Request Service Timeout (privilege: advanced)

This parameter specifies the timeout value for a scan request. It specifies the time interval in which the node waits for a response from the Vscan server. If the timeout is reached, the node allows the file-operation if the applicable On-Access policy has scan-mandatory set to 'off'. If the policy has scan-mandatory set to 'on', then the node will retry the scan or disallow the file-operation depending on the remaining lifetime of the CIFS request. Valid values for this field are from 10s to 40s. However, if scan-mandatory is set to 'off', the effective value is limited to a maximum of 35s.

[-scan-queue-timeout <[<integer>h][<integer>m][<integer>s]>] - Scan Queue Timeout (privilege: advanced)

This parameter specifies the timeout value for a scan request in scan-engine's queue. The value for this field must be between 10s and 30s.

[-session-setup-timeout <[<integer>h][<integer>m][<integer>s]>] - Session Setup Timeout (privilege: advanced)

This parameter specifies the timeout value for a response for session-setup-message. The value for this field must be between 5s and 10s.

[-session-teardown-timeout <[<integer>h][<integer>m][<integer>s]>] - Session Teardown Timeout (privilege: advanced)

This parameter specifies the timeout value for a response for session-teardown-message, or for any message to be received for a session-id, after the underlying connection has been disconnected. The value for this field must be between 5s and 10s.

[-max-session-setup-retries <integer>] - Max Number of Consecutive Session Setup Attempts (privilege: advanced)

This parameter specifies the maximum number of consecutive session-setup attempts. The value for this field must be between 1 and 10.

Examples

The following example modifies a scanner pool.

Cluster1::> vserver vscan scanner-pool modify -vserver vs1 -scanner-pool SP
            -hostnames 2.2.2.2,vmwin204-29.fsct.nb -privileged-users cifs\u3

Cluster1::> vserver vscan scanner-pool show -vserver vs1 -scanner-pool SP
Vserver: vs1
                               Scanner Pool: SP
                             Applied Policy: idle
                             Current Status: off
         Cluster on Which Policy Is Applied: -
                  Scanner Pool Config Owner: vserver
       List of IPs of Allowed Vscan Servers: 2.2.2.2, 10.72.204.29
List of Host Names of Allowed Vscan Servers: 2.2.2.2, vmwin204-29.fsct.nb
                   List of Privileged Users: cifs\u3
