How to Configure McAfee VirusScan Enterprise for the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance
3
Introduction
Efficient protection of electronic data against threats from malware is as important to an
enterprise as a comprehensive backup/restore and disaster recovery process. Computer
viruses, phishing, adware, and spyware can put electronic data at risk of being manipulated or
destroyed, impact the operation and availability of data services, and result in unwanted
disclosure of information and exposure to unsolicited content. The ability to protect content in
electronic data repositories against corruption by malicious software and the ability to isolate
and dispose of files that impose potential risks are essential components of any enterprise’s
data protection strategy.
The Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance provides protection against computer viruses by using an
integrated on-demand virus scanning service called VSCAN. The VSCAN service is based on
the Internet Content Adaptation Protocol (ICAP) and works together with an external virus
scanning engine which, for performance and security reasons, should be running on another
host located on the same LAN segment as the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance. The solution
described in this paper uses McAfee VirusScan Enterprise antivirus software as the external
virus scanning engine.
McAfee VirusScan Enterprise (VSE) antivirus scanner analyzes any files in question for
suspicious patterns and passes the scan results back to the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance
VSCAN service. Based on the scan result, VSCAN makes the file accessible to users or blocks
access by quarantining the file. A file quarantined by the VSCAN service is not accessible to
users regardless of the access protocol used (CIFS or NFS).
This document describes the installation and configuration of McAfee VirusScan Enterprise for
use as a virus scan engine with the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance VSCAN service.
NOTE: References to Sun ZFS Storage Appliance, Sun ZFS Storage 7000, and ZFS Storage
Appliance all refer to the same family of Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance products. Some cited
documentation or screen code may still carry these legacy naming conventions.
