Hi,

Please tell me know,  SEP is supported or only we can install SAV antivirus in Linux obuntu  ?

Hello Mithun,

Could you please confirm which version of sep is supported for linux Obuntu ?

As of now there is only SAV that can be installed on Linux box. its found on the CD2 of the install media what you download from the website ( file connect). it can be managed from SSC console of SAV but not with SEPM . it can be installed only as unmanged.

You can make your linux client to fwd logs to SEPM. 

Management of Symantec AntiVirus (SAV) for Linux

Hello Mithun,

As above comment's from Rafeeq and Brian sep is not supported but according to you sep is supported.

This document was updated on 2012

Checked the system requirement for 12.1 it still says SAV. which is published in 2013

Its for SAV no SEP for linux as of now

http://www.symantec.com/business/support/index?pag...

Hello,

Now I get it.. it seems all are getting confused with the word - "SEP for Linux" and "SAV for Linux".

Just to let you know that these are same and the actual word to be used is "SAV for Linux".

Note that SAVFL clients are unmanaged, but there are some tricks you can do. Here is an article on the subject:

Management of Symantec AntiVirus (SAV) for Linux
http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH102587

It's SAV for Linux. It cannot be managed by SEPM but logs can still be sent to the SEPM. But that is it.

It cannot get policies and the only feature it has is antivirus. I don't know why it changed to SEP for Linux on FileConnect as all the documentation still says SAV for Linux.

Thank u all  for your comments. Guys I am still confused.

Requesting you all  please help me ASAP, Because I have a meeting with customer.

As of now there is no SEP for linux, we have only SAV for linux which can be found on CD2 of SEP media what you have downloaded...

Mithun was referring to the fact the SAV for linux now supports Ubuntu 12 :) ....

Thnaks Raqeeq, 

It means We can only install SAV on linux Ubuntu,

Please help me in this.

1) How to install SAV on linux Ubuntu,

2) How to check status of SAV client, I mean sav client is on line or off-line on linux Ubuntu.

3) How to check whether sav client is updated with latest anti virus definition on linux Ubuntu.

Please provide me ASAP..

Thank you Mithun!!!!!

Thank you all for your post..
