Suspending and enabling all background scans
You can suspend and enable all scanning for the groups controlled by a Scan
Control policy. This applies to current and future background scans.
About this task
If you stop background scans by disabling all scanning in the Scan Control policy,
all current scans go into the idle status, and no more scans can be scheduled until
you enable scanning again.
