A site consists of one database, one or more management servers, and clients. By default, you deploy Symantec Endpoint Protection as a single site. Organizations with more than one data center or physical location generally use multiple sites.

Replication configurations are used for redundancy. Data from one database is duplicated, or replicated, on another database. If one database fails, you can still manage and control all clients because the other database contains the client information.

See What are sites and how does replication work?.

Table: Process for setting up sites and replication

Tasks

Description

Step 1: Determine whether you need to add another site

Before you set up multiple sites and replication, make sure that it is necessary. Symantec recommends that you set up multiple sites only in specific circumstances and that you add a maximum of five sites in each site farm. If you do add an additional site, decide which site design works for your organization.

See Deciding whether or not to set up multiple sites and replication.

See Determining how many sites you need.

Step 2: Install Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager on the first site

When you install Symantec Endpoint Protection for the first time, by default you have installed the first site, or the local site.

See Installing Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager.

Step 3: Install Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager on the second site

You create a second site by installing a second management server. The second site is classified as a remote site and the management server is called a replication partner. Replication occurs according to the default schedule that when you added the second site during the initial installation. After you have added a replication partner, you can change the replication schedule and what data is replicated.

See How to install a second site for replication.

The first time that the databases between the two sites replicate, let the replication finish completely. The replication may take a long time because the entire database gets replicated.

You may want to replicate the data immediately, rather than waiting until the database are scheduled to replicate. You can also change the replication schedule to occur earlier or later.

If you upgrade the management server on one site, you must upgrade the management server version on all sites.

See Replicating data immediately.

Step 4: Check the history for replication events (optional)

If you need to check that the replication occurred or to troubleshoot the replication events, look at the System log.

In the second management server, view the System log. Filter for the Administrative > Replication events event type.

See Viewing logs.

You can also reconfigure a management server to replicate the data with a currently existing site in your network. Or, if you have two non-replicating sites, you can convert one of the sites into a site that replicates with the second site.

See Reinstalling or reconfiguring Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager.
