Manual scan host configuration
The scan host must have NetBackup Malware Scanner (Avira) installed and must be reachable from the media server over SSH.
Configure the required share type such as NFS or SMB.
Note:
For Linux scan host, NFS share type shows 4x better scan time than SMB share type.
Notes: Perform the following steps on the MSDP storage server:
Configure NFS and SMB configurations. Also, NFS or SMB client must be on scan host.
For an SMB share, ensure that the storage server is connected or joined to the Active Directory Domain and obtain an Active Directory domain details and a valid user credentials.
Ensure that the user that is specified in the share type has required permission to mount.
For more information on the additional prerequisites (such as SMB/NFS client software) and scan host configuration steps, refer to NetBackup Web UI Administrator Guide.
