Understanding Real Time Protection Control

Real Time Protection (RTP) scans each file in the selected volume immediately
after the file is written to the storage system, thereby protecting the NAS server
from viruses that could spread across the network. RTP can hinder your device's
performance, depending on the amount of files that are changed on the protected
volume.
During migration of data to the NAS 8000, the file volume being written to should
not have any RTP tasks enabled. This will provide maximum performance for the
migration, because an RTP-enabled file volume scans each file for viruses as they
are written to the disk. After the data migration is complete, a scan of the file
volume is recommended to ensure that no viruses were copied to the NAS during
the migration.
From the HP Virus Guard web interface, select Real Time Protection Control.
A table displays the following drive information for every scan:
You can click on a column heading to sort items in that column.
