A scanner pool defines the Vscan servers and privileged users that can connect to SVMs.

Before you begin

  • SVMs and Vscan servers must be in the same domain or in trusted domains.

  • Configure an ONTAP Antivirus Connector with the cluster management LIF.

  • The list of privileged users must include the domain and user name the Vscan server uses to connect to the SVM.

  • Once the scanner pool is configured, check the connection status to the servers.

Steps

  1. Create a scanner pool:

    vserver vscan scanner-pool create -vserver cluster_admin_SVM -scanner-pool scanner_pool -hostnames Vscan_server_hostnames -privileged-users privileged_users

    • Specify a cluster admin SVM.

    • Specify an IP address or FQDN for each Vscan server host name.

    • Specify the domain and user name for each privileged user. Learn more about the commands described in this procedure in the ONTAP command reference.

  2. Verify that the scanner pool was created:

    vserver vscan scanner-pool show -vserver cluster_admin_SVM -scanner-pool scanner_pool

    The following command displays the details for the SP scanner pool:

    cluster1::> vserver vscan scanner-pool show -vserver cluster_admin_SVM -scanner-pool SP

                                    Vserver: cluster_admin_SVM
                               Scanner Pool: SP
                             Applied Policy: idle
                             Current Status: off
         Cluster on Which Policy Is Applied: -
                  Scanner Pool Config Owner: cluster
       List of IPs of Allowed Vscan Servers: 1.1.1.1, 10.72.204.27
List of Host Names of Allowed Vscan Servers: 1.1.1.1, vmwin204-27.fsct.nb
                   List of Privileged Users: cifs\u1, cifs\u2

    You can also use the vserver vscan scanner-pool show command to view all the scanner pools on the cluster. Learn more about vserver vscan scanner-pool show in the ONTAP command reference.
