7-Mode Device indicates the machine where Data ONTAP 7-Mode is installed.
ServerProtect
for NetApp scans viruses using "on-access" mode, which takes place on a Scan Server. In
turn, the Information Server manages the Scan Servers.
When a user tries to access a file or store a new file in a NetApp 7-Mode Device,
the NetApp
7-Mode Device performs a virus check. If the filename extension matches the file scanning
criteria (for example, an ".EXE" or a ".VBS" file), the NetApp 7-Mode Device sends
a manual scan
request (Scan Now) to the Scan Server(s). The Scan Server then passes back the scan
result to the
NetApp 7-Mode Device and according to the scan result, the user is either allowed
to open, save,
or is denied to access the file.
