Abstract
Techniques can be implemented to provide for antivirus scanning in clustered storage where not all nodes of the cluster are connected to an antivirus server. A first computing node of computing nodes of a computing cluster can determine a status of an antivirus server. The first computing node can send a first indication of the status of the antivirus server to a group management protocol service of the computing cluster. The group management protocol service can send a second indication of whether the first computing node is available for antivirus scanning to a job engine of the computing cluster. The job engine can distribute an antivirus job among the computing nodes based on whether the first computing node is available for the antivirus scanning.
