Hi.
I´m new to this and i need to do some changes to our image but these steps to pull an image feel strange. Do you know of a better way to pull an image that can be used cloning other clients than these steps below. I´m using V90-clients and WDM (Dedicated Server, PXE).1. Go through the first question that WDM ask when running
“Get Device Image” Stopping at Ready to register package.
2. Run “prep_4_man.bat” on the device.
3. Pull the power cord.
4. Complete the Registering package and changing it to “Roll On Boot”. In Software Packages under Update Manager.
5. Start the device. (And HOPE that it takes it. Or else i will have to go through the order above again.)It’s hard to say, as the prep_4_man.bat is something custom, but it seems like it should work fine.
1. Go through the first question that WDM ask when running
“Get Device Image” Stopping at Ready to register package.This starts the imaging process. Stopping before it actually takes the image is going to give you time to prepare the machine for imaging.
2. Run “prep_4_man.bat” on the device.
I’m assuming this prepares the device for duplication. It probably runs some type of sid changer, and maybe some other custom settings. I’d have to see the contents to be fore sure, though.
3. Pull the power cord.
I’d recommend a graceful shutdown instead of pulling the power cord. Nothing like a possible problem creeping up on all of your machines because the base machines wasn’t shut down properly.
4. Complete the Registering package and changing it to “Roll On Boot”. In Software Packages under Update Manager.
At this point, you’re finishing the job and telling it to PXE boot and grab your image the next time you turn it on.
5. Start the device. (And HOPE that it takes it. Or else i will have to go through the order above again.)
When you turn it on, assuming PXE is working properly, it should PXE boot and grab an image for you.
Those are the basic steps for imaging a v90 terminal. I hope that your prep_4_man.bat file runs some sort of sid changer.
Hey, nice one Joe!
That looks like an article to me Joe, why don’t you write it up with and include the sample scripts and post it in the news section! I will edit and put it up, cool!
Back to Gadher’s question, Joe is absolutely correct. No need for prep for man (prep for manufacturing). This is a script Wyse use to package an image for manufacturing. All you need to do is configure one device, pull the image with PXE and push it out to the other terminals. The unit will change name if you leave it as the default name,
Cheers,
