Enable virus scanning on an SVM

05/10/2023 Contributors

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

Steps

Enable virus scanning on an SVM:

vserver vscan enable -vserver data_SVM

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
```
Verify that virus scanning is enabled on the SVM:

vserver vscan show -vserver data_SVM

For a complete list of options, see the man page for the command.

The following command displays the Vscan status of the vs1 SVM:
```
cluster1::> vserver vscan show -vserver vs1

                           Vserver: vs1
                      Vscan Status: on
```
