  • 1.  SEP 12 Console Installatioin - recovery file not detected automatically

    Hello,

     

    I am attempting to install SEP 12 on a brand new Windows Server 2008 server.

    I have reached part of the wizard to configure Management Server. Unfortunately it did not detect the default recovery file, nor do I know what file this is.

    See attached screenshot.

    Why ???

    Shouldn't need to use a recovery file for a new install. Uncheck it.

    Uncheck that,

    and run the install

     

    that is only needed if you are trying to reconnect your clients. not for fresh install

    I am trying to install SEPM on a new Server and make it point to a pre-existing SEPM database.

    One SEPM site exists already and this will be an additional site.

    Should I still keep this unchecked?

    Yes. You need to add as a replication partner instead. Make sure both SEPMs are on the same version.

    so uncheck that and complete the install..

    You do not have to install it as a replication partner if you want this new SEPM to be an additional management server to an existing site/database (and you use SQL). If you choose Custom and do not select a recovery file, after you choose "Approximately how many computers will be managed", you will get to a screen where you can choose "Install an addtional management server to an existing site". Then you enter info from the other SEPM. SQL Server client tools must be installed on this new server.

    (Obviously, if you want a new site with a database of its own, then yes, use replication.)

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Symantec community.

    I would be glad to answer your question.

    Before that Thumbs up for Sandras advice.

    It seems trying to install additonal management server for failover/loadbalancing.

    I hope you are using SQL database, Failover/loadbalancing is not possibe with Embedded database.

    Refer this article: Installing a management server for failover or load balancing
