Dear Community
I am in the process of designing a new SEPM infrastructure consisting of two sites with replication for DR purposes. My setup will be similar to this
1.DC1_Site: SEPM-A (internal server)
2.DC1_Site: SEPM-B (in DMZ for my remote clients)
3.DC2_Site: SEPM-C (internal server) connect to SEPM-A for replication
4.DC2_Site: SEPM-D (in DMZ for my remote clients)
Datacenter 1 (DC1) will have a dedicated SQL server. The same will DC2.
I am currently doing some reading on LiveUpdate and content updates and have a couple of questions related to that.
1. Content download through SEPM heartbeat or through LiveUpdate
http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?pag... under "Configuring Content Updates" mention that endpoints can receive updates either through the SEPM heartbeat or through LiveUpdate where SEPM heartbeat is the default.
Using SEPM heartbeat is recommended as it means you can benefit from the delta technology related to content revisions.
Every group and endpoint will have a set of policies applied to them, including a LiveUpdate policy. Does this mean that in order for a group of endpoints to use SEPM heartbeat to download content updates from that particular SEPM server I will just disable LiveUpdate scheduling for this group's LiveUpdate Settings policy?
How about if I am using a Group Update Provider (GUP) for a set of endpoints, will those endpoints download content from their assigned GUP at every SEPM heartbeat?
2. SEPM server LiveUpdate
I am planning on configuring LiveUpdate on one SEPM server in each data center, e.g. SEPM-A and SEPM-C. Will SEPM-B and SEPM-D automatically receive these same updates so that during the next SEPM heartbeat for my remote clients, they will receive these latest content updates?
3. Configuring LiveUpdate on SEPM servers
Under SEPM > Admin > Local Site > Edit Site Properties, there is a LiveUpdate tab. Is this the only place I need to configure in order for an SEPM to download content from Symantec or do I need to have a LiveUpdate policy with an active schedule as well?
