Abstract
Malware scan task processing in a data storage system is described herein. A method as described herein can include designating, by a device operatively coupled to a processor, a file stored by a primary cluster of a data storage system for a malware scan; locating, by the device, a secondary cluster of the data storage system having stored thereon a copy of the file, the secondary cluster being distinct from the primary cluster; and, in response to determining that the file stored by the primary cluster matches the copy of the file stored by the secondary cluster, causing, by the device, a second anti-malware server associated with the secondary cluster to perform the malware scan for the copy of the file instead of a first anti-malware server associated with the primary cluster.
