Create an offline deployment

Create an offline deployment

You can create an ISO file for an offline Windows deployment and add desired elements, such as a specific system image, boot environment, system drivers, user states, and license seats.

1.
On the left navigation pane, click Deployments, then click Offline Deployments to display the Offline Deployments list page.
2.
On the Offline Deployments list page, click Choose Action > New to create a new offline deployment.
3.
In the Create an Offline Deployment wizard that appears, on the Select System Image page, complete the following steps:

Option

Description

Name

The name of the offline deployment. This is also the name of the downloadable ISO file that becomes available for download when you finish creating this offline deployment.

License Seats

The number of managed devices assigned to this deployment. Your KACE Systems Deployment Appliance license defines the number of seats that you can manage. Any seats you assign to this deployment affect the remaining number of devices. You can review the License Usage/Capacity in the About Appliance dialog box. To access it, open the About tab on the Need Help panel. For more information about this panel, see Access product documentation.

System Image

The system image associated with this deployment. You can use any system image available on the appliance. For more information about capturing system images, see Capturing images.

b.
Click Next.
4.
On the Select Boot Environment page, complete the following steps:
If the Deploy User State post-installation task is assigned to the selected image, the Select User States step in the wizard is displayed, allowing you to include one or more of the previously captured user states in the offline deployment.
b.
Click Next.
5.
Select User States step only. Specify one or more user states that you want to include in this deployment.
a.
Click User states scanned with to filter captured user states by version.
b.
In the Available User States section, click the plus icon on the left of each user state that you want to add to the deployment.
Similarly, to remove a user from the deployment, in the Selected User States section, click the minus icon on the left of each user state that you want to remove.
c.
Click Next.
6.
Optional. On the Select Drivers (Optional) page that appears, specify one or more user drivers that you want to include in this deployment.
b.
In the Available Drivers, click the plus icon on the left of each driver that you want to add to the deployment.
Similarly, to remove a driver from the deployment, in the Selected Drivers section, click the minus icon on the left of each user state that you want to remove.
c.
Click Next.
7.
On the Offline Deployment Overview page, review the elements included in the offline deployment. If you want to make any modifications, use the Previous button to return to the desired step in the wizard.
8.
Click Create ISO.
The Create an Offline Deployment wizard closes, and the Offline Deployment list page refreshes, showing information about a newly created ISO file.

When you finish creating an ISO image for this offline deployment, the appliance updates the device inventory with the devices to which this offline deployment is applied. You can review them on the Device Inventory page. Each of these devices uses KACE Offline Node as the device model. For more information about the device inventory, see Managing device inventory.

About the Remote Site Appliance

The Remote Site Appliance (RSA) acts as a local boot server, which enables you to network boot devices for deployments to remote sites. You can synchronize and upload images to the RSA, and capture system images or user states from the RSA.

You can install the RSA directly from your KACE Systems Deployment Appliance and link the RSA using the license key that comes with your KACE Systems Deployment Appliance. When you link the RSA to the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance, the RSA is available from the appliance Administrator Console. There is no limit to the number of RSAs that you can install using the license key.

The Remote Sites tab in the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance Administrator Console enables you to synchronize the appliance to the RSA to access the components that you plan to deploy to the remote sites. For example, you can synchronize boot environments, tasks, drivers, and captured user profiles.

Remote Site Appliance setup requirements

Remote Site Appliance setup requirements

The RSA requires a free IP address to assign to the RSA and VMware® or Hyper-V® host software, such as VMware ESXi™, VMware vSphere®, or Microsoft® Windows® Hyper-V. The RSA configurable DHCP server scope enables devices to network boot to the RSA. Devices that cannot network boot require a bootable ISO file or a USB KACE Boot Environment (KBE). The boot DVD requires setting option 066 or 244 to recognize the appliance.

RSA setup requirements

Table 4. RSA setup requirements

Requirement

Description

KACE Systems Deployment Appliance

Install and configure the appliance to download the RSA.

RSA License

Use the same appliance license key sent to you by Quest KACE.

Virtual Machine host

See the RSA host system requirements.

Network settings

Assign a static IP address and (optional) host name to the RSA.

Save the RSA data on the RSA or to a virtual disk.

Optional: LDAP

Use the LDAP server IP address or host name.

Network boot configuration

For Windows devices: The DHCP server scope that directs the network boots to the RSA on the remote DHCP scopes.

For Mac devices: The NetBoot server that directs Mac BSCP requests from the remote devices to the RSA.

RSA host system requirements

The device at the remote site that hosts the RSA must meet recommended requirements. For details, see the Technical Specifications for Virtual Appliances.

Install the RSA on a host device

Install the RSA on a host device

You can install the RSA on the host device where you installed the virtual host software as long as no other RSAs exist on the same subnet.

Download the RSA installation package from the Support Portal to the device at the remote site that is going to host the RSA.

For complete information on how to install the RSA on a VMware®, Microsoft® Windows® Hyper-V®, or Nutanix host, see the appropriate setup guide. You can also consult the VMware, Windows, or Nutanix documentation for instructions on opening an appliance file in other host software.
