OneFS supports three types of scans:
Refer to the following table for more details.
Scan type | Details |
On-access scanning | OneFS can be configured to send files to be scanned before they are opened, after they are closed, or in both instances. It is faster to send files to be scanned after they are closed, but less secure. Sending files to be scanned before they are opened is slower, but more secure. For a detailed discussion and recommendations for on-access scanning, refer to On-access scans. |
Antivirus policy scanning | Using the OneFS Job Engine, you can create antivirus scanning policies that send files from a specified directory to be scanned. Antivirus policies can be run manually at any time or configured to run according to a schedule. |
Individual file scanning | This type sends a specific file to the ICAP server to run the scan. Sometimes, this is also used to test the connection between the PowerScale cluster and the ICAP server. To perform an individual file scan, run the following CLI command: isi antivirus scan <file path> |
