Note: You cannot deploy a thin host to the recovery environment. The thin host
can only be started from Symantec Recovery Disk to host a remote control session
in the recovery environment. The thin host in Symantec Recovery Disk does not
support file transfers and cannot be used to add drivers for network or storage
devices.
To start the pcAnywhere thin host
After you start the thin host from the Symantec Recovery Disk, it waits for a
connection from a remote computer. You can connect to the thin host to remotely
manage a recovery or to perform other tasks in the recovery environment. You
must use Symantec pcAnywhere to connect to the thin host.
To start the pcAnywhere thin host
◆
On either the Home or Network panels in the recovery environment, click
Start the pcAnywhere Thin Host.
The networking services are started if necessary. The thin host waits for a
connection.
Remotely connecting to the thin host
Symantec pcAnywhere lets you remotely connect to a computer that is running
in the recovery environment. The computer must be running the pcAnywhere
thin host that is included in the Symantec Recovery Disk, and it must be waiting
for a connection. Once connected, the client computer can remotely manage a
recovery or perform other tasks that are supported in the recovery environment.
Note: The client computer cannot transfer files or add additional drivers for
network or storage devices on the computer that is running the thin host.

the recovery environment and that the pcAnywhere thin host is waiting for
a connection.
