Planning Smart Protection Server Installation and Upgrade

Planning for Deployment
The following section provides information on how to determine the type of
environment to configure when installing local Smart Protection Servers.
Best Practices
• Avoid performing Manual scans and Scheduled scans simultaneously. Stagger the
scans in groups.
• Avoid configuring all endpoints from performing Scan Now simultaneously. (For
example, the "Perform scan now after update" option.)
• Install multiple Smart Protection Servers to ensure the continuity of protection in
the event that connection to a Smart Protection Server is unavailable.
• Customize Smart Protection Server for slower network connections, about
512Kbps, by making changes to the ptngrowth.ini file.
Configure the following in ptngrowth.ini:
a. Open the ptngrowth.ini file in /var/tmcss/conf/.
b. Modify the ptngrowth.ini file using the recommended values below:
[COOLDOWN]
ENABLE=1
MAX_UPDATE_CONNECTION=1
UPDATE_WAIT_SECOND=360
c. Save the ptngrowth.ini file.
d. Restart the lighttpd service by typing the following command from the
Command Line Interface (CLI):
service lighttpd restart
