Create a Vscan scanner-pool configuration for an SVM

Contributors

POST /protocols/vscan/{svm.uuid}/scanner-pools

Introduced In: 9.6

Creates a Vscan scanner-pool configuration for a specified SVM. You can create a scanner-pool with all fields specified or only mandatory fields specified.

Important notes:

  • A scanner-pool must have servers and privileged users specified.

  • If the role or cluster is not specified, the scanner-pool is created on the local cluster with the role set as primary. *`Only one of the fields cluster-uuid or cluster-name is required.

Required properties

  • svm.uuid or svm.name - Existing SVM in which to create the Vscan configuration.

  • name - Scanner-pool name.

  • privileged_users - List of privileged users.

  • servers - List of server IP addresses or FQDNs.

  • role - Setting a role for a scanner-pool is recommended.

  • cluster - Passing the cluster name or UUID (or both) in a multi-cluster environment is recommended.

Default property values

If not specified in POST, the following default property values are assigned:

  • role - primary

  • cluster.name - Local cluster name.

  • cluster.uuid - Local cluster UUID.

  • vserver vscan scanner-pool create

  • vserver vscan scanner-pool apply-policy

  • vserver vscan scanner-pool privileged-users add

  • vserver vscan scanner-pool servers add

Parameters

Name Type In Required Description

return_records

boolean

query

False

The default is false. If set to true, the records are returned.

  • Default value:

svm.uuid

string

path

True

UUID of the SVM to which this object belongs.

Request Body

Name Type Description

cluster

cluster_reference

name

string

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 ".".

privileged_users

array[string]

Specifies a list of privileged users. A valid form of privileged user-name is "domain-name\user-name". 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.

  • example: ["cifs\u1", "cifs\u2"]

  • Introduced in: 9.6

  • x-omitemtpy: true

role

string

Specifies the role of the scanner pool. The possible values are:

  • primary - Always active.

  • secondary - Active only when none of the primary external virus-scanning servers are connected.

  • idle - Always inactive.

servers

array[string]

Specifies a list of IP addresses or FQDN for each Vscan server host names which are allowed to connect to clustered ONTAP.

  • example: ["1.1.1.1", "10.72.204.27", "vmwin204-27.fsct.nb"]

  • Introduced in: 9.6

  • x-omitemtpy: true
