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.

Can you tell us why? I've had no problems from Trend.

Steer clear of TrendMicro.

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,
