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 vserver vscan scanner-pool create 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.
