The Symantec LiveState Recovery Manager installation program checks for the required software and hardware resources, lets you select the installation folder, updates registry settings, and copies the required files to the hard disk. The console installation program also checks for Windows .NET Framework 1.1. If .NET 1.1 is not installed, the installation program installs it.

Note: Because the console uses data it receives from the server to populate the user interface, it is generally recommended that you install the Symantec
LiveState Recovery Manager server first, and then install instances of the Symantec LiveState Recovery Manager console where you want in your enterprise.

Installing the Symantec LiveState Recovery Manager server
Before you begin, make sure you have carefully reviewed the requirements for installing the Symantec LiveState Recovery Manager server. See Symantec LiveState Recovery Manager 3.0 system requirements.

---

Note: This product uses Symantec's LiveState unified architecture as its foundation. Therefore, if you have an existing installation of Symantec iCommand 3.0, you should install the server on the same computer. This will allow you to share the existing iCommand database structure, agent architecture, and server architecture.
If you are installing Symantec LiveState Recovery Manager server into a new environment where Symantec iCommand and Symantec LiveState Recovery do not exist, this server installation will create a new database structure to store data about computers and backup tasks.
