8.3.4 Mirror for clients with NOD32 version 2.x
ESET Remote Administrator also allows an administrator to create update file copies for client computers with ESET
NOD32 Antivirus 2.x installed. To do this, click
Tools
>
Server Options
>
Updates
>
Create update mirror NOD32
version 2 products
. This only applies to ERA; the Mirror included in the client solution of the Business Edition (v 3.x)
does not contain this option.
If you have a mix of 2.x and 3.x clients in your network, we recommend that you use the Mirror integrated in ERA. If
both Mirrors are activated on the same computer – one in ERAS for 2.x clients, and the other in a Business Edition client
for 3.x clients – it could result in a conflict between two HTTP servers using the same TCP port.
Updates for 2.x clients are stored in the folder
”nod32v2”
, a subfolder of the main Mirror folder. It is accessible via the URL
address:
http://Mirror_server_name:port/nod32v2
or UNC path to a network drive:
\\Mirror_server_name\share_name\nod32v2
ERA is also capable of downloading program components for 2.x clients. To select program components to be
downloaded, navigate to
Tools
>
Server Options…
>
Advanced
tab > click
Edit Advanced Settings…
and expand the
branch

Mirror for NOD32 version 2
. To minimize the volume of
downloaded data, only select language versions that are present on your network.
8.4 Replication
Replication is used in large networks where multiple ERA Servers are installed (e.g., a company with several branches).
For more information, see chapter
Installation
.
The options in the Replication tab (
Tools > Server Options...
) are divided into two sections:
Replication “to“ settings
Replication “from“ settings
The
Replication ”to“ settings
section is used to configure lower ERA Servers. The
Enable “to” replication
option must
be enabled and the IP address or name of the master ERAS (Upper server) entered. Data from the lower server is then
replicated to the master server. The
Replication ”from“ settings
allow master (upper) ERA Servers to accept data from
lower ERA Servers, or to transfer them to their master servers. The
Enable “from“ replication
must be enabled and
names of lower servers should be defined (delimited by a comma).
Both of these options must be enabled for ERA Servers located anywhere in the middle of the replication hierarchy (i.e.,
they have both upper and lower servers).
All of the previously mentioned scenarios are visible in the figure below. The beige computers represent individual ERA
Servers. Each ERAS is represented by its name (which should be the same as
%Computer Name%
to avoid confusion)
and the corresponding settings in the replication dialog window.
