Agreed. We ran Trend ServerProtect for Netapps
for a while with a demo license and we were very happy with it. The only thing that kept us from buying
it was the sudden disappearance of all of our budget. (This was some time ago under a previous parent company; we’re
just about getting this all sorted out now.)
As for how
to get the virus protection working, if it is similar to how it worked for
ServerProtect, you have to install the Netapp anti-virus software on your scan
server(s), and then you have to use commands on the filer to register it to one
or more scan servers (I believe the “vscan” command on the filer was used for
this. Sorry, I don’t have access
to verify that right now.)
We set up
a private 100MB/FD network between the filer and the scan server to use for
scanning, and we did not see a significant performance hit when the scan server
was enabled. If/when we take it
into production, I’m hoping we can get a gigabit network in place for it, but
even with only the 100mb nobody complained about performance problems.

We use Symantec's CarrierScan for the
Filer (740). Works well.

Subject: Real Time Virus Scanning with F820 and Norton AV
Has anyone had success running real time
virus scanning on cifs shares on an
F820 (Ontap 6.1.2.R1) or any other filer? I have a dedicated
Windows 2000
server with Norton Antivirus Corporate Edition 7.xx, but I have
not been
able to get real time virus scanning to work correctly. How
do you register
the filer with the virus scanning software? Do you have to
use mapped
drives on the Windows 2000 virus scanning server that point to
volumes on
the filer? Are most of you using real time scanning on your
filers or do
you use scheduled or manual virus scans?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
