You must enable virus scanning on an SVM before an on-access or on-demand scan can run.

Steps

  1. Enable virus scanning on an SVM:

    vserver vscan enable -vserver data_SVM

    Note

    You can use the vserver vscan disable command to disable virus scanning, if necessary.

    The following command enables virus scanning on the vs1 SVM:

    cluster1::> vserver vscan enable -vserver vs1

  2. Verify that virus scanning is enabled on the SVM:

    vserver vscan show -vserver data_SVM

    Learn more about vserver vscan show in the ONTAP command reference.

    The following command displays the Vscan status of the vs1 SVM:

    cluster1::> vserver vscan show -vserver vs1

                           Vserver: vs1
                      Vscan Status: on
