Using predefined workflows, you can scan and validate backed up Nutanix VMs to identify vulnerabilities, such as viruses and verify that the VMs are safe to restore. After the workflows are complete, you can view a report of the scan results.
For each VM that you want to scan, the Commvault software needs a restore worker VM in the Nutanix cluster. The workflow restores and attaches VM disks from the storage library containing VM backups to the worker VM, and then runs the Threat Analysis scan. After the scan is complete, the VM Scan Analysis report is generated. The report displays the status of the scanned jobs.
Before You Begin
-
Ensure that Python and requests (python library) are installed on the CommServe server or on the server where you configured the workflow engine.
-
Download the NutanixThreatScan app configuration file from the Commvault Store. After downloading the file, do either of the following:
-
Import the app configuration file from Developer tools > CV apps > Import from file to deploy the workflows.
-
Extract the NutanixThreatScan configuration file to import the workflows manually.
-
Procedure
-
Configure a Nutanix AHV hypervisor to represent the Nutanix cluster where the restore worker VMs are configured. For more information, see Configuring Backups for Nutanix AHV.
-
Configure a server group for the restore worker VMs. For information on creating a server group, see Adding a Server Group by Using Manual Association.
For information on system requirements for the restore worker VMs, see Software, Hardware, and Other Requirements for Restore Worker VMs.
-
Import and deploy the Nutanix_ControllerScan and Nutanix_VMScan workflows in your CommCell environment.
Note
Only CommCell administrators or users with administrative permissions can access, create, and edit workflows on the Developer tools > Workflows page. For more information about creating and editing workflows, see Creating and Managing Workflows.
