The recommended system requirements vary depending on the size of the environment. The size of the environment also affects how you configure the platform.
For more information, see Symantec Management Platform Best Practices References.
Installation
You use Symantec Installation Manager to install Symantec Management Platform and all of the products that run on the platform. You also use Symantec Installation Manager to install updates, apply licenses, and repair installations.

- How to Disable the Clean up File Resources Task
Info title Technical Impact The Software Management "Clean up File Resources" task, deletes File Resources that are not associated with functionality delivered with SMP Software Management. In particular it deletes File Resources that do not have a Resource Asssociation. This ignores the situation where relationships are modelled through Inventory Data Classes (Dataclass Foreign Key Associations). Arellia products have modelled these relationships in the same manner since the introduction of the File Resource with Application Control 6.0.
If this task schedule is not deleted, most File Resources discovered through Local Security Soloution and Application Control Solution will be deleted at 2:10 am every day. These resources will re-discovered based upon inventory cycles, and will subsequently be once again deleted.
Licensing
Changes have been made to how Arellia licenses its products.
