Automated scan host configuration

Scan host can be configured automatically using one of the following options:

For Agentless host:

PowerShell: PowerShell scripts can be used to configure Windows scan host.
Shell: Shell scripts can be used to configure Linux scan host by copying the required script to scan host.
Ansible: Ansible playbook can be used to configure one or more Linux and Windows scan hosts remotely.

Note:

The above automated configuration scripts currently only support installation of NetBackup Malware Scanner (Avira).

For NetBackup client as the scan host

Configure NetBackup client as the scan host.
See Configuring NetBackup client as the scan host.
If the status of the scanner host is activated, then the existing system with the NetBackup client can be used as scan host.

- On the left, click Detection and reporting > Malware detection.
- On the Malware detection page, select Malware detection settings > Manage malware scanner host pools on the top-right corner to go to host pool list page.
- Select the desired scan host. Then click Actions > Manage hosts.
  The status of the scanner hosts is displayed.
