To configure a NetBackup Malware Scanner for Linux

1. Download NetBackup Malware Scanner from Veritas Download Center.
2. Extract the downloaded zip file. Files must contain the following structure;

   NBAntiMalwareClient_version number_LinuxR_x86
         savapi-sdk-linux64.zip
           setup.sh
           cleanup.sh
   
   NBAntiMalwareClient_version number_LinuxS_x86 -> NBAntiMalwareClient_version number_LinuxR_x86
         savapi-sdk-linux64.zip
           setup.sh
           cleanup.sh

   Warning:

   The setup.sh script modifies the bashrc file on Linux.

3. Refer to the Readme.txt file for install, upgrade, or uninstall processes.

   To install or upgrade NetBackup Malware Scanner on Linux RHEL computer.

   • Navigate to NBAntiMalwareClient_ version number_LinuxR_x86 folder and run the setup.sh script using scanuser.

   • Enter the target location to install the NetBackup Malware Scanner.

   To install or upgrade NetBackup Malware Scanner on Linux SUSE computer:

   • Navigate to NBAntiMalwareClient_version number_LinuxS_x86 folder and run the setup.shscript using scanuser.

   • Enter the target location to install the NetBackup Malware Scanner.

   Note:

   For Linux SUSE computer, if .bashrc file is not present then create an empty .bashrc file in users home directory.

   Note:

   The path of the scanner directory (/bin) is added in the .bashrc file of the Linux user which is installing the NetBackup Malware Scanner.

   If you are using NetBackup client as the scan host, then it is recommended to add the same entry in /usr/openv/netbackup/bp.conf configuration file so that any Linux user (to be used for malware scanning) knows the scanner directory (/bin) path. For example, NB_MALWARE_SCANNER_PATH=/root/Avira/savapi-sdk-linux64/bin

   To uninstall NetBackup Malware Scanner from Linux computer:

   • Run the cleanup.sh script.

4. To validate that the scan works with the NetBackup Malware Scanner on a Linux setup, perform the following:

   • Run the ./update.sh script to get the latest signature update.

   • Navigate to NetBackup Malware Scanner installed path and run the avira_lib_dir_scan binary with the required scan path and conf_path parameters.

   • Configuration file must be present in NetBackup Malware Scanner installed path.

     For example,

     avira_lib_dir_scan "/root/malwareSample" -log_path "/root/NBMalwareScanner.log" -conf_path "/root/NBMalwareScannerInstalledPath/savapi-sdk-linux64/bin/aviraconf.txt

     Ensure that the output of the command is successful. For existing sample malware files, the output must be a list of infected files. Else the output must be empty.
