Product description
The EMC VNX Event Enabler (VEE) framework contains the
following facilities and is used to provide a working environment for
these facilities:
While the VEE framework includes both CAVA, CEPA, and VCAPS,
they can run independently.
CEPA support
CEPA supports clients that run either the CIFS or NFS protocol only.
If the FTP protocol is used to move or modify files, no events are
processed or published for the files.
File-Level Retention
It is strongly recommended that the antivirus (AV) administrator
updates the virus definition files on all resident AV engines in the
CAVA pools, and periodically run a full file system scan of the file
system to detect infected FLR files. The Using VNX Event Enabler
technical module provides additional information about virus
definition updates.
Microsoft Access
Do not scan Microsoft Access database files in real time. Files inside a
database are not scanned.
To ensure the CAVA status remains ONLINE, you must either include
the corresponding AV user account in the Restricted Group, or
remove the Restricted Group.
