Real-time Scan constantly scans all files that are accessed and provides powerful
virus
protection that runs in the background. All incoming/outgoing files are monitored,
thus infected
files are prevented from being copied to or from a server.
To protect both the Celerra File Server system and the AV Server, the default
setting for the ServerProtect Real-time Scan function is Incoming &
outgoing.
EMC CAVA triggers Real-time Scan to scan files on a storage device once
receiving the following events from the storage device:
-
A file was renamed on the storage device.
-
A file was copied or saved to the storage device.
-
A file was modified and closed on the storage device.
If you want to define stricter conditions to trigger Real-time Scan, refer to
the documentation of your storage device.
The following scan options are specific to Real-time Scan:
