Managing a Multiprotocol Environment on VNX

provides details on mounting a file system.

(Optional) Define VC scanning criteria

About this task

You can configure the

masks=

parameter in the

viruschecker.conf

file to scan files with a specific extension, for example,

the extension .doc or .docx for Microsoft Word documents. If you have multiple SMB/CIFS interfaces on a VNX Data Mover

or Unity NAS server, you can set the

CIFSserver=

parameter to specify which interface the VNX Data Mover or Unity NAS

server uses to communicate with the AV machines.

viruschecker.conf parameters

provides a complete list of

viruschecker.conf

parameters, including

mask

:

Steps

1.

Open the

viruschecker.conf

file using an editor.

Instructions for retrieving the configuration file on Unity systems are described in

Virus-checking continuation

.

2.

Locate the

masks=

entry.

3.

Type the entry for the list of files to be scanned.

Examples:

In the following example, all files are scanned:

masks=*.*

In the following example, only .exe, .com, .doc, .docx, and .ppt files are scanned:

masks=*.exe:*.com:*.doc:*.docx:*.ppt

4.

Type the NetBIOS name of the VNX Data Mover or Unity NAS server:

CIFSserver=

<netbios_name or IP address>

Determine the interface name on the Data Mover

provides more information.

Example:

CIFSserver=dm53-ana0

NOTE:

If this parameter is not set, the default NetBIOS name on that VNX Data Mover or Unity NAS server is used. If

you set this parameter, ensure that you use the same interface that you used in

Create a domain user account

.

5.

Save and close the

viruschecker.conf

file.

viruschecker.conf parameters

Parameters in the viruschecker.conf file

provides additional parameters that can be configured within the

viruschecker.conf

file, or for use with the EMC Unity/VNX/VNXe NAS Management snap-in.

NOTE:

For Unity systems, you can either create a configuration file in Unisphere, or you can upload a configuration file that

you create offline. In Unisphere, the antivirus configuration is found at

Storage

>

File

>

Properties

>

NAS Servers

>

Security

>

Antivirus

.

The

masks=

parameter can greatly affect virus-checking performance. It is recommended that you do not use

masks=*.*

because this setting scans all files. Many files cannot harbor viruses, therefore,

masks=*.*

is not an efficient setting. Most

AV engines do not scan all files. The

masks=

and

excl=

parameters in the

viruschecker.conf

file should be equal to or a

superset of the

masks=

and

excl=

settings used by the AV engine.

Table 13. Parameters in the viruschecker.conf file

Parameter

Description

Example

httpport=

HTTP port number on the CEE machine

that the storage system will use. Default

is port 12228.

httpport=12228
