Installing the Veritas System Recovery Plug-in on computers
Using Symantec Management Platform policies, you can install the Veritas System Recovery Plug-in or the Veritas System Recovery Linux Edition Plug-in to computers on your network. You can also use policies to upgrade (excludes the Veritas System Recovery Linux Edition) and uninstall the plug-in.
Note: To use rollout policies, the Symantec Management Agent must be installed on the computers that you want to manage. You should already have a working knowledge of policies, packages, programs, and resource targets.
The amount of time that is required to install Veritas System Recovery can vary. It depends on the number of computers on which you want to install it.
The following table describes the Veritas System Recovery Plug-in policies that are included with your installation of Veritas System Recovery 21 Management Solution.
Table: Predefined Veritas System Recovery Plug-in policies
| Veritas System Recovery Plug-in policy | Description |
| Veritas System Recovery Plug-in | A software delivery policy that is installed on resource targets with no Veritas System Recovery Plug-in installed. You can also use the uninstall program with the software delivery policy to uninstall the plug-in. |
