Table 13. Parameters in the viruschecker.conf file (continued) Parameter Description CAVA service is running under on the CEE machine. Example Domain\user account: msrpcuser=CEE1\user1 surveyTime= (optional) Specifies the time interval used to scan all AV machines to see if they are online or offline. This parameter works with the shutdown parameter shown next. If no AV machine answers, the shutdown process begins using the configured shutdown parameter. This is the only parameter that triggers shutdown. The default value is 10 seconds. min=1, max=3600. surveyTime=60 seconds shutdown= Specifies the shutdown action to take when no server is available. Works with the surveyTime parameter. Options include the following parameters: shutdown=no (default) shutdown=cifs shutdown=viruschecking ● shutdown=no (default) - Continues retrying list of AV machines if no AV machine is available. Prolonged loss of communication results in Windows clients not being able to access VNX or Unity shares, which might cause data unavailability. Two watermarks exist (low and high). When each is reached, an Event log is sent. Use the Event log to take corrective action on the Data Mover or NAS server to ensure that virus checking is functional. ● shutdown=cifs - Stops SMB/ CIFS if no AV machine is available. (No Windows clients can access any VNX or Unity share.) If strict data security is important in the environment, you should enable this option to prevent access to the files if all AV machines are unavailable. If this option is not enabled, and all AV machines are unavailable, clients can modify files without any virus checking. NOTE: shutdown=CIFS should be disabled if less than two AV machines are configured. ● shutdown=viruschecking - Stops the virus checking if no AV machine is available. (Windows clients can access VNX or Unity shares without virus checking.) Unity and VNX CAVA Information 69

Table 13. Parameters in the viruschecker.conf file (continued)
Parameter
Description
Example
CAVA service is running under on the
CEE machine.
Domain\user account:
msrpcuser=CEE1\user1
surveyTime=<n>
(optional)
Specifies the time interval used to
scan all AV machines to see if they
are online or offline. This parameter
works with the
shutdown
parameter
shown next. If no AV machine answers,
the shutdown process begins using the
configured shutdown parameter. This
is the only parameter that triggers
shutdown.
The default value is 10 seconds.
min=1, max=3600.
surveyTime=60 seconds
shutdown=
Specifies the shutdown action to take
when no server is available. Works with
the
surveyTime
parameter.
Options include the following
parameters:
●
shutdown=no
(default) —
Continues retrying list of AV
machines if no AV machine
is available. Prolonged loss of
communication results in Windows
clients not being able to access VNX
or Unity shares, which might cause
data unavailability.
Two watermarks exist (low and
high). When each is reached, an
Event log is sent. Use the Event log
to take corrective action on the Data
Mover or NAS server to ensure that
virus checking is functional.
shutdown=no
(default)
shutdown=cifs
shutdown=viruschecking
●
shutdown=cifs
— Stops SMB/
CIFS if no AV machine is available.
(No Windows clients can access any
VNX or Unity share.)
If strict data security is important in
the environment, you should enable
this option to prevent access to
the files if all AV machines are
unavailable. If this option is not
enabled, and all AV machines are
unavailable, clients can modify files
without any virus checking.
NOTE:
shutdown=CIFS
should
be disabled if less than two AV
machines are configured.
●
shutdown=viruschecking
—
Stops the virus checking if no
AV machine is available. (Windows
clients can access VNX or Unity
shares without virus checking.)
