SAS 9.4 M7 TO M8

[kumarsandip975]

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to know during software update (9.4 M7 TO M8), anti viros tool like MaAfee should disabled on server?

[MarcoGhiglieri]

I think so.
I always ask for a real time scan suspension during all the upgrade, mainly for performance impacts.

[Nigel_Pain]

Definitely. When we upgraded, we had all kinds of problems until we disabled our AV software, from some processes being blocked to others taking much longer than they should because of the AV software scanning in real time.

Hi there,

while the temporary suspension of antivirus is definitely a preferred scenario with SAS deployments and UIPs, in some cases it is just not possible due to policies.

However, in those restrictive situations, what you can do is to request in advance a rule to exclude some folders/locations. This works 100% of the times in every situation.
