Set up one or more Vscan servers to ensure that files on your system are scanned for viruses. Follow the instructions provided by your vendor to install and configure the antivirus software on the server.

Follow the instructions in the README file provided by NetApp to install and configure the ONTAP Antivirus Connector. Alternatively, follow the instructions on the Install ONTAP Antivirus Connector page.
