Hello everyone,

There are some filers in my company. All of them have 2 virus scanners. But somehow, few days ago, one of them only have 1 primary and 1 secondary vscan server.

What maybe the reason of it and how to configure to change the secondary one to be a primary one?

I only found command to change pri to be a sec..

Thanks!!

From the 'vscan' man page:

'To remove all secondary scanners from the list, use a pair of double quotes ("") as the argument.'

I hope this response has been helpful to you.

Hi all this is the commands which will bring your secondary Vscan server to primary "vscan scanners secondary_scanners ""
