Configure resource limits for malware detection
To configure resource limits for malware detection
- On left, click Detection and reporting > Malware detection.
- On the top right, click Malware detection settings > Resource limits.
- Click Edit to edit the resource limit of the resource type.
- Set the global limit which would be considered when resource limit is not set for a resource type.
Or, click Add to override the global setting.
- Enter the new host name and set the limits.
Note:
Resource type scan host: Number of scans per scan host. Default: 3, Minimum: 1, Maximum: 10
Resource type storage server: Number of scans per storage server. Default: 20, Minimum: 1, Maximum: 50
- Click Save.
Caution:
Setting the Instant Access limit to large value would lead to Storage server resources (memory, CPU, disk) being used for malware scanning purpose. It is advised to set the value based on the existing load on storage server due to backup/duplication operations.
Note:
For NetBackup version 10.2 and later, global parallel scans limit configured through
configuration option is not applicable. Configure the global parallel scans limit using the Web UI.
