    Ensure that sufficient disk space is available. The /tmp/ requirement and about 4GB of /opt/ are needed for working space when updating definitions.

    Below are the multiple ways by which we can be update SEP installed on Linux .

    1) LUA

    Please see Using the LiveUpdate Administrator 2.x to download updates for Symantec Endpoint Protection for Linux  for information on how to configure LUA for this content.

    2) Symantec Liveupdate server.

    3) From SEPM if it is configured as Reverse Proxy.

    SEPM cannot host Linux LiveUpdate content the same way as it does for Windows clients. As of SEP version 12.1 SEPM can be configured as a reverse proxy for downloading and caching the latest Linux LiveUpdate content.

    Linux clients can not directly take updates from the SEPM. Did you configure reverse proxy to receive definitions from the SEPM?

    Can refer the following article for the same.

    Enabling Mac and Linux clients to download LiveUpdate content using the Apache Web server as a reverse proxy

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO85034

    For time being can update it using intelligent updater as well.

    First download the definitions from
    http://www.symantec.com/security_response/definitions/download/detail.jsp?gid=sep​
    or
    Symantec FTP site (ftp://ftp.symantec.com/AVDEFS/symantec_antivirus_c...)​

    After downloading the definitions, Mark the file executable and install the definitions using the below commands.
    # chmod +x YYYYMMDD-RRR-unix.sh
    # ./YYYYMMDD-RRR-unix.sh​

    The format for the Intelligent Updater name is YYYYMMDD-REV-TYPE.sh. Type refers to if it is for Windows/Linux/Mac and whether it is for a 32-bit or 64-bit machine. SAVFL always uses the 32-bit package, even for 64-bit machines. For instance, to download the Intelligent Updater definitions for a 64-bit Linux machine for August 17th, 2010 and revision 16, the filename would be “20100816-016-unix.sh”​

    Note:
    The IU requires the uncompress and uudecode tools to be installed on the Linux machine.  It will not succeed without them. You can download these utilities from the distribution mirror directory using one of the following commands as per your distribution.​
