Hi everyone,
First of all, I have to say that Threat Scan in 11.44+ feels like a completely different product compared to 11.40. The improvements are significant, and the addition of VM workloads to the Threat Scan capabilities is a really nice enhancement.
While going through the 11.44 documentation, I came across the following:
“For Windows VM workloads, set up a Windows Threat Scan server.”
“For Linux VM workloads, set up a Linux Threat Scan server.”
Commvault Threat Scan Requirements
My question is regarding whether this OS-specific requirement applies only to VM workloads, or also to File System workloads.
For example, if an environment contains both Windows and Linux File System workloads, can we use a Windows Threat Scan server to scan both, or would we need separate Windows and Linux Threat Scan servers?
In other words, is the Windows/Linux Threat Scan server distinction specifically related to the way VM disks/filesystems are mounted and accessed during VM Threat Scan, or does the same restriction apply to regular File System Threat Scan as well?
This is a relatively new area for many of us, so it would be useful to have a clear clarification on the expected architecture.
Please for your feedback,
Nikos
