Abstract
For an antivirus scan during a data scrub operation, the antivirus scan is concurrently performed as an overlap with the data scrub operation, wherein the data scrub operation periodically inspects and corrects memory errors. The antivirus scan concurrently performing as an overlap with the data scrub operation is increased if a reduction in disk access by a host application is detected.
Claims21
A system for an antivirus scan during a data scrub operation in a computing environment, the system comprising:
- a processor device executing instructions stored in a memory, wherein the processor device, upon executing the instructions:
- concurrently performs the antivirus scan as an overlap with the data scrub operation, wherein the data scrub operation periodically inspects and corrects memory errors;
- and
- increases the antivirus scan concurrently performing as an overlap with the data scrub operation if a reduction in disk access by a host application is detected.
A computer program product an antivirus scan during a data scrub operation in a computing environment, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:
- an executable portion that concurrently performs the antivirus scan as an overlap with the data scrub operation, wherein the data scrub operation periodically inspects and corrects memory errors;
- and
- an executable portion that increases the antivirus scan concurrently performing as an overlap with the data scrub operation if a reduction in disk access by a host application is detected.
A method for an antivirus scan during a data scrub operation by a processor device in a computing environment, the method comprising:
- concurrently performing the antivirus scan as an overlap with the data scrub operation, wherein the data scrub operation periodically inspects and corrects memory errors;
- and
- increasing the antivirus scan concurrently performing as an overlap with the data scrub operation if a reduction in disk access by a host application is detected.
