move symantec endpoint protection manager to new server

The SEP firewall components will not protect a VMware guest operating system. Secondly, could you try installing the AV/AS component only and disable the symtdi.sys driver from the machines and check if that helps. We are aware of your Thread on Symantec Forums:Ĭould you please let us know if this file transfer issue occurying from Server to client machine or vice versa or both ways? Any suggestions and comments are welcome. If our case is unique then there should be some configuration/exclusion rule etc that can help us. There must be millions of users of SEP in VMware environment and it is hard to believe that it is a common issue.

This seems to be a much bigger trade off between Security and Network Speed than anticipated. Only installing SEP Core or unistalling SEP completely seem to be the only solution.

We tried enabling only the relevant features of SEP, it did not result in any significant improvement. We already had the power setting to high performance so the solution did not help our case. The only article I found on the subject was. Virtualization Host CPU usage is 20% and Memory Usage is 40% during the test. All VMs are 圆4 and the ethernet adapters are VMXNET 3, VMWare tools are installed and updated to the latest versions.

To simplify and exclude all extraneous factors we performed file transfer and network speed test where all VMs are hosted on the same VMware ESXi virtualization hosts (Version ESXi 5.1.0 Build 1117900). Network speeds measured using the iperf utility shows a similar speed degradation of 4 times, 350 Mb/sec vs 1400 Mb/sec. VMs with all features of SEP installed have file transfer speed of about 30 MB/sec vs 120 MB/sec with no SEP installed.

We are experiencing significant reduction in file transfer rate and network speed with in our LAN between Virtual Machines running Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 guest OSs, Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) installed is.
