Make sure that at least one virus scan engine is registered in File Administrator.

If virus scanning is enabled and configured for the global context or for the EVS hosting the file system pointed to by the share, virus scanning is enabled by default when the share is created. If virus scanning is not enabled for the global context or for the EVS hosting the file system pointed to by the share, virus scanning is not enabled by default when a share is created. You can enable it on each EVS.

  1. Navigate to Data Management > Protection > Antivirus > Virus Scanning.
  2. In the Virus Scanning pane, select the EVS on which you want to enable virus scanning from the list of EVS instances.
  3. Click the edit icon, and then set the Status toggle to Enabled.
  4. Select one of the following protocols to connect to the virus scan engine:
    • RPC
    • ICAP
  5. Select one of the following options for the files to be scanned:
    • To scan all file types, select All files.
    • To scan a file type from the list of extensions, select User defined.

      To add a file extension to the list of extensions, click Add. The file extension must be in uppercase letters, numbers or in combination of uppercase letters and numbers. The file extension list also supports wildcards. For example, XL? matches to .XLS and .XLX files.

      To remove a file extension from the list, click Delete. To revert to the default file extension list, click Restore.

    Note:

    The default list of file extensions contains the following most commonly used file types. Contact the antivirus software vendor for an up-to-date list of file types that should be included for scanning and modify the file extension list accordingly. Select the file types that you want to scan based on your requirements, the antivirus software used, and the recommendations of the antivirus software manufacturer.
