Post-Upgrade Tasks

Complete the following post-installation tasks:

Configure SNMP on any Linux Harvesters in your deployment.
Exclude the following directories from real-time scans: C:\Windows\Temp and <install_path> and all its subdirectories. Real-time scans of these directories can corrupt the database.
Do not implement drive space compression. Drive space compression can cause database losses and degraded system performance.
We recommend that you install Flash is on systems with desktops that access the NFA console and install Reader on systems with desktops that access PDF documentation.
