PerformSymantecSFScan

IT Asset Management (Cloud)

Command line | Registry

PerformSymantecSFScan controls whether or not the inventory component (the tracker) gathers inventory for Veritas Storage Foundation products installed on the local inventory device. (Since January 2016, Veritas has operated independently from Symantec, but the preference name is maintained for backwards compatibility.)

Generally a low impact preference, PerformSymantecSFScan is set to false by the tracker command line used for high-frequency hardware inventory checks required for subcapacity calculations for IBM PVU licenses.
