We have two F760's which have an NT4 janitor box, running Netshield 4.5. We have set Netshield up to carry out scheduled scans of the volumes on a daily basis (set up admin shares on the filers for each volume). We have also throttled the scans to low priority, so that they do not interfere with the performance of the filers. This works fine, but only if a small ammount of data is on the filers (We have about 300GB), as this provides enough time for the scans to complete within a 24 hour period. On access scanning is the main bugbear, as our users work on Citrix Metaframe on Windows 2000 Terminal servers, which does not support on access virus scanning !! Does anybody else know of a way around this ? Regards

Subject: RE: Anitvirus on netapp
We're using our filer for data storage, so anything that goes on it has to come from workstation or server. We use Network Appliance, kinda taking a "perimeter" approach to the subject. Anything that goes on or comes off the filer has to go through a workstation or server.

I'd be curious about what everyone (who has CIFS data on their Filers) is using as well. We're using Network Associates' (nee McAfee) Netshield from an NT Server. The Server version does allow you to scan network drives. You might find that a different version of Norton would do the same. What about everyone else?

Hi there, I'm curious how everybody is checking against viruses at the filers. We tried to use a PC were NAV is installed and configured NAV to check network drives, but unfortunatly it doesn't check the network drives. Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanx
