Exclude a network drive from being scanned
Hello,
I would like to know how I would go about excluding a network drive from being scanned. We are experiencing high water marks and one proposed solution is to exclude certain network drive from being scanned.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Andrew

By "network drive" are you referring to a filesystem/share on your Celerra? If you do not wish to have it scanned, you can mount the underlying filesystem with the flag "noscan", which turns off viruscanning for any shares hosted on that filesystem. You can unmount/remount the filesystem using the Unisphere GUI or the CLI.
Be careful! This means that every share on that filesystem will not be scanned. For example, if you mount "fs100" as "noscan", that means none of the shares fs100\home, fs100\business and fs100\test will be scanned.
Please note that unmounting and remounting a filesystem is disruptive, and will prevent clients from accessing data while the filesystem is unmounted. You'll want to do this during a scheduled downtime or period of low activity.
Let us know if that helps!

Excellent. So, yes, you should be able to exclude that filesystem from virusscanning.
Let us know if you have further questions.
Thanks!

Thank Karl! Yes I meant a network share.
