  • 1.  LUA 2.3.x double downloading MAJ ( 11.0 ) Endpoint protection windows

    Posted Jan 11, 2013 07:58 AM

    Hello,

     

        Sometime, LUA reload all SEP MAJ, like this for example :

         30/10/2012   first install, LUA download 3.9 Go

         Some days, or weeks later .....     LUA again downloading 3.9 Go.

         Here we use chained LUA ( yes, a bad practice ), but you re client wanna this.

         And all chained LUA, take all download if LUA on internet, double here download.....  GREAT PROBLEMS !

         Have you idéas on this ???

         2 supports tickets, only give best practice for GUP, yes GUP is the best, but a this time Enterprise like LUA.

     

    Best Regards

    Hi Sep50,

    Can you give any specifics about what fiels are being downloaded twice?

    You might just be running into the monthly hub definitions: once per month there is a large download necessary.  Here's an article with some details:

    Hello,

     

      Thk for you re answer.

       LUA --->  3 download per days  6h , 12h30 , 22h00.

       Buggs is a random problem, sometime lot of weeks Download is good.

       Exemple, Stages of the bug :

        xx/xx/xx   Install LUA (2.3.2.99 ) for SEP 11.0 clients  --->  3.9 Go

        xx/xx/xx  +1, +2 etc   ok, all days small download update

        xx/xx/xx  +x days, or weeks  NOK, LUA update is again 3.9 Go like first day !

        After, all chained LUA take 3.9 Go again !!!

        Lan and space disks problems......

        I must clear all update, destroy distributions center, purge clu prod... and re create all..... Big problem.

     

    Best Regards

    That really could be the monthly hub definitions.  If thsi unexpectedly large download happens once per month, that would explain it.

    By the way, do you have Mac definitions?  If so make sure you ar eonly downloading the kind of Mac defs you need.

    • Symantec Endpoint Protection for Mac Virus Defs  (RU6 and RU6 MP1)
    • Symantec Endpoint Protection for Mac Virus Defs V2 (All SEP 11 RU6 MP2 and later)

    Looks about normal. Be sure that your LUA 2.3.2 server is updating its Symantec Product catalog correctly: check the event log to ensure it is being successfully updated, as shown in this article:

    How many past revisions are the LUA servers configured to keep?  Reduce that to one (two, if you prefer.  No one really needs three) and configure all purge schedules so that a job takes place soon. 

    That should do it!

    Yes, all lua only have 2 last revisions to keep.
