Prerequisites for scan host pool

Scan host pool is a group of scan hosts.

Scan host pool configurations must be performed from NetBackup web UI before the scan host configuration is competed.

  • All the scan host you add in the scan host pool must have same malware tool as that of the scan host pool.

  • All the scan host you add in the pool must have same share type as that of scan host pool.

  • To add scan host in a scan pool, you need credentials of scan host and RSA key. To get the RSA key of the scan host, See Manage credentials.

  • Ensure before the scan, scan hosts are active and available in scan host pool.
