Shared File Systems Details

Use this window to view which agents are scanning a chosen shared file system, and to designate or undesignate specific agents to perform (or not to perform) scans.

Shared Directory
A directory whose files can be accessed from two or more computers.
Mount Point
In Linux operating systems and in UNIX operating systems such as AIX®, the directory at which a file system is mounted and under which other file systems may be mounted.

In a situation when one shared file system is mounted more than one time (under more than one directory), it is possible that the agent designated to scan the shared file system will not upload any scan results for this system. Therefore, you should not scan the shared file system that has been mounted more than once.

Designation statuses:
  • Scan - The agent is designated to scan the shared file system.
  • Blank field - The agent is not designated to scan the shared file system.
  • Ineligible - The agent cannot be selected to scan the shared file system.
Select Action
Use the drop-down list to select the action that you want to carry out.
Designate
Designates the selected agents to perform software scans on the shared file system.
Undesignate
Removes designation from the selected agents (these agents will not perform software scans on the shared file system).

To view the description of actions that you can perform with the table, see Table actions list.

Download as PDF
Downloads the whole table as a single document in the PDF format for saving. The format retains the filtering and sorting performed on the table. Note that the PDF format has a limited capacity so it may not be possible to create if for too large tables.
Download as CSV
Downloads the whole table as a single document in the CSV format for saving and editing. The format retains the filtering and sorting performed on the table. It has no limitations as far as the number of rows is concerned. You should use a spreadsheet application to open it.
