Obtaining the product binaries
If you are not installing from the installation media, you need to obtain the product binaries from Symantec's electronic distribution site.
Obtaining the product binaries
- Call Customer Care for your region by following the instructions provided at:
http://www.symantec.com/support/assistance_care.jsp
Do one of the following:
If you have not obtained a license, ask Customer Care to email you a licensing template. Follow the instructions in the email to license your product, and repeat these instructions.
If you have already obtained a license, ask Customer Care to email you a FileConnect download template.
- Locate the email that contains the FileConnect download template, and locate the serial number. (The serial number is not a license key; it is a code you need to download Symantec products from the portal).
- Go to Symantec's electronic distribution website at:
http://www.symantec.com/products-solutions/licensing/activating-software/detail.jsp?detail_id=fileconnect.
- Select a language.
- Enter the serial number contained in the FileConnect download email, and click Enter, and then agree to the license agreement.
- Select the product you want to download.
- Under step 1, select a download method. Do one of the following:
If you are only downloading one item, click HTTP Download to make the download go faster.
If you are downloading more than one item, click Managed Download.
- Select the product you want to download, and click Begin Downloading.
- Open the tar file and save it to your local system.
- Unzip the tar file. For example, enter the following:
# gunzip VRTS_SF_HA_Solutions_<version>_<platform>.tar.gz
- Untar the file. For example, enter the following:
# tar -xvf VRTS_SF_HA_Solutions_<version>_<platform>.tar
