I was under the impression that antivirus *was* integrated (to a point) in Clustered ONTAP.
Meaning... it is a different beast all together. On-head antivirus (versus off-head with redirects to an AntiVirus server in 7-mode) running (I think) in "user" space. This is to protect all clients of all protocols and not just CIFS. (before you say it, I know NFS *can* be A/V protected too)
My current issue with it... it appears to want to contact the internet for updates and so forth. Either directly or through some proxy.My systems are not connected at all to the internet and no one has been able to me with authority when, if ever, I will be able to use the on-head antivirus.
Not sure of any performance penalties that may occur...

Go to the Interoperability Tool Matrix (change to On-board AntiVirus) and see...

I assume you're the aware of the limitations/lack of support of integrated AV scanning in C mode?

Hi Folks,
Does anyone have any recommendations (or horrible warnings, off list is fine!) for antivirus scanning integration with NetApp? We're starting to look into all this (again), and I'd be interested in people's experiences and recommendations, especially if anyone has used products like Avere to get round the performance hit that may result?
We have a low double digit number of 7-mode HA systems, and are about to bring in a cluster, so we'd be looking at something that could do both, in an ideal world (I'd also like a pony).
cheers
John
