Managing the Registry and AV Drivers

CAVA provides Windows parameters that you can set to modify the behavior of CAVA. You edit the parameters through the

Windows Registry Editor. For information about editing the Registry, view the Changing Keys and Values online help topic in the

Registry Editor (regedit.exe).

NOTE:

Editing the Windows Server Registry can cause serious problems that require a reinstallation of the operating

system. It is advisable to create a backup copy of the Registry files before editing them. You should edit the following

parameters only if you have an in-depth knowledge of CAVA and the Microsoft Registry.

Topics:

•

EMC CAVA configuration Registry entries

•

EMC AV driver Registry entry

•

Manage the EMC AV driver

EMC CAVA configuration Registry entries

Two user-configurable Registry entries are available for CAVA configuration:

●

AgentType — Currently, the only supported AgentType is driver. This option allows for future support of other possible

interfaces as they become available.

●

NumberOfThreads — Determines the number of threads which the CEE framework uses to process incoming requests from

the system:

○

Minimum value = 1

○

Default value = 20 (decimal)

To access the AgentType entry from the Registry Editor, use this directory path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EMC\CEE\CAVA\Configuration

To access the NumberOfThreads entry from the Registry Editor, use this directory path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\EMC\CEE\Configuration

EMC AV driver Registry entry

Use this directory path to access the Windows Registry to ensure that the EMC AV driver is properly configured:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\EMCVirCk

The correct settings for the EMC AV driver are:

●

ErrorControl = 1

●

Start = 2

●

Type = 1

If the settings are different from those indicated, modify them.
