    Turning on replication after upgrade

    #EDIT#

    Oh yeah, as added verification of the above procedure, please see the below article which states:

    • If your site uses replication, you must disable replication before upgrading Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager. You must disable replication at each site that replicates.

    Same goes for 12.1RU4MP1a

    Upgrading or migrating to Symantec Endpoint Protection 12.1.4100.4126 (RU4 MP1)

    The second article I posted tells you how to add the replication partner back in (after you've completed the upgrade), if that's what you're asking...

    Also, the initial "Delete Replication Partner" bit has to be done on all replciation partners.

    Obviously, all this is provided under the assumption that you have confirmed this is a replicating SEPM environment and not just a load-balanced one (which personally seems more logical if the SEPMs are on the same subnet).

    Oh, I getcha now.  This article explains the process in more accurate detail I think:

    http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO81215

    So you select the local SEPM site and click "Add Exisiting Replication Partner".

    Incidentally, as HOWTO81207 appears to be incorrect, I'd recommend leaving feedback on it under the "Rate this article" section on the right.

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Symantec community.

    When you remove a management server at a remote site, you need to manually delete it from all sites. Uninstalling the software from one management server console does not make the icon disappear from the Servers pane on other consoles.

    To delete a replication partner

    1. In the console, click Admin.

    2. Under Tasks, click Servers.

    3. Expand Remote Sites and select the site that you plan to delete.

    4. Under Tasks, click Delete Remote Site.

    5. Click Yes.

    See Re-adding a replication partner that you previously deleted.
