I was able to get this going again by doing the following (caveat - don't know if it will work on a reboot):

1> Make sure the ca_antivirus is uninstalled.

For me this happened when I 'disabled' the plugin and re-enabled/disabled a few times, getting the CA AV cannot disable/enable error.
you will also know its gone when you get the 404 error upon clicking the Configure eTrust Antivirus link under enable.

It's still there if you get the inoweb webserver error.

You can also tell if it's there by changing to:

cd /hd/vol_mnt0/

if ca_antivirus is not there it's uninstalled

or to:

cd /apps/ca/antivirus/mnt

if nothing's there it's also gone.


2> Login via ssh to the server, su to root:

su - root

(use admin pass to authenticate)

change to:

cd /apps/ca/antivirus/

execute InitAntivirus: ./InitAntivirus

3> Install the software from /apps/ca/antivirus/ by executing InstallAntivirus.sh - this file needs an argument - (the volume to install on) which might be listed in the file volumelist (also in /apps/ca/antivirus/ ) for me, i executed like this:

./InstallAntivirus.sh /hd/vol_mnt0


NOTE: There is also this file: /opt/CA/.uniprodloc

Which controls the location of the actual install - mine has this inside: /apps/ca/antivirus/mnt

The install installs the AV bits to /apps/ca/antivirus/mnt and seems to mount them on /hd/vol_mnt0/ca_antivirus (depending on the argument you give to InstallAntivirus.sh.

It does this by creating the following mtab entry:
/hd/vol_mnt0/ca_antivirus /apps/ca/antivirus/mnt none rw,bind 0 0 -

After completing the install successfully, you can start the service as follows:

/etc/init.d/CAantivirus start

you should see the following:

Starting eTrust Antivirus:
[ OK ]
sh-2.04# cd /apps/


Hopefully this somehow also takes care of making sure AV starts on server reboots ... I will follow up with that.
