I was wondering if there is a way to search entire volumes instead of individual shares. I searched and found a post here from 2010 that asked the same question that is unanswered. Is there a way with this version?</P></BODY></HTML> Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:59:21 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/VMware-Solutions-Discussions/Searching-for-files/m-p/69241#M6586 vmaxxofmd 2025-06-05T05:59:21Z Re: Searching for files https://community.netapp.com/t5/VMware-Solutions-Discussions/Searching-for-files/m-p/69246#M6587 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Enable mandatory scan for the required extensions without connecting to a vscan server , all new file creations will be blocked .</P><P></P><P>For the existing files you need to search by shares or create a share at the root of the volume </P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 16 Jul 2013 09:55:50 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/VMware-Solutions-Discussions/Searching-for-files/m-p/69246#M6587 jiss 2013-07-16T09:55:50Z
