ENS 10.2.1 and ENS 10.5.1 add support for CAVA. CEE and CAVA are a framework running on a Windows platform that enables third-party antivirus engines to scan files stored on a Dell EMC Celerra, VNXe, VNX, Unity, or VMAX eNAS and NAS array. This article describes how to install ENS to work with CAVA.
To install ENS with support for CAVA, the CAVA switch is required.
Add this switch for local installations as shown below:
setupEP.exe ADDLOCAL="tp,fw,wc" /CAVA
For managed installations, change the McAfee Agent deployment task parameters for ENS Threat Prevention. In the Command Line field, type the following switch:
/CAVA
IMPORTANT: When you upgrade from ENS
10.2.1 with CAVA to ENS
10.5.1 with CAVA, you must run the ENS 10.5.1 installation with the CAVA switch. Without the CAVA switch, the ENS 10.5.1 installation removes CAVA from the upgraded ENS 10.2.1 system.
The CAVA switch disables the blocking cache in the on-access scanner (OAS), increases the number of OAS scanning threads to 200, and enables network scanning. These setting changes are needed to ensure that the OAS scans all files from CAVA.
By default, 200 scanning threads are made available in ENS. If this number is too many or too few for the system, you can change the value for the number of scanning threads during installation, with the following command:
For local installations: setupEP.exe ADDLOCAL="tp,fw,wc" /CAVA="<number of scanning threads>"
For managed installations: SetupTP.exe /CAVA="<number of scanning threads>"
Example:
For local installations: setupEP.exe ADDLOCAL="tp,fw,wc" /CAVA="100"
For managed installations use this switch in the deployment task Command Line field: /CAVA="100"
To change the number of scanning threads after installation:
