ServerProtect for NetApp organizational flow in 7-Mode
ServerProtect for NetApp uses an agent to communicate with the NetApp 7-Mode Device via remote procedure calls (RPCs). This agent performs the following functions:
  • Registers the Normal Server with the NetApp 7-Mode Device as a "Scan Server." This informs the NetApp 7-Mode Device of the availability and location of a Scan Server
  • Watches for NetApp 7-Mode Device file-scanning requests
  • Returns scan results to the NetApp 7-Mode Device
  • Answers any queries from the NetApp 7-Mode Device
  • Informs the NetApp 7-Mode Device of any pattern file or scan engine updates
  • Communicates with the NetApp 7-Mode Device to check the connection between the Scan Server and the NetApp 7-Mode Device
The organization flow in Cluster-Mode is similar to that in 7-Mode. The only difference is that ServerProtect for NetApp communicates with the NetApp Cluster AV Connector instead of the NetApp 7-Mode Device.
