fmps scan auto-restart

Enables the File Protect appliance to restart scans that have been paused because a storage was dismounted.

When a storage is dismounted, the output of the command show fmps scan-id <id> contains the message State: Paused Description: Scan paused by system in the Scan ID field. If automatic scan restart is enabled, once the storage is mounted, the scan resumes automatically.

You can disable automatic restart of scans to be able to start scans from scratch when storages are mounted.
