Create a multicast WIM image deployment

Create a multicast WIM image deployment

You can create a multicast deployment for WIM images to send one image once to multiple devices at the same time. Multicast deployments reduce the network bandwidth if the routers on your network support multicast, and if the target devices have the hard disk space for the image. Multicast deployments support only single-partition images.

Create a boot action for each WIM image that you want to multicast.
* 
NOTE: Only one multicast deployment can take place at a time.
Determine if your network requires modifying the settings on the hardware to enable multicast images to reach the target devices. For information on creating a multicast DMG image deployment, see .
* 
NOTE: Go to http://www.itninja.com/community/dell-kace-k2000-deployment-appliance for information on your specific routers and switches.
1.
On the left navigation pane, click Deployments, then click Automated Deployments to display the Automated Deployments page.
2.
Under Name, select the deployment from the list to display the Automated Deployment Detail page; otherwise, see Create a boot action and Schedule a deployment.
3.
Optional: Under Boot Action Details, rename or add notes to identify the boot action.
4.
Under Options > Type, select Multicast.
Optional: Click Show advanced settings to change the default multicast settings for this deployment. To change the settings for all multicast deployments, see Edit the default multicast settings.
5.
Under Devices > Selected Devices, click or select a Mac address. You can also click Paste multiple MAC addresses to paste in multiple address, and you can filter device by type to show devices that match the specified criteria from the View All drop-down list to
6.
Click Save.
The Automated Deployments page lists the boot action.
On the left navigation pane, click Deployments, then click System Images to select the image assigned to the boot action to add pre-installation and post-installation tasks, and to configure the error handling.

Edit the default multicast settings

Edit the default multicast settings

The changes that you make to the default multicast settings apply to all new multicast deployments.

You can change the multicast settings on a per deployment basis. Navigate to the Deployments page, and select the boot action to display the Automated Deployment Detail page, then click Show advanced settings.

1.
On the left navigation pane, click Settings > Control Panel to display the Control Panel, then click Default Multicast Settings to display the Default Multicast Settings page.
2.
Change the Timeout to wait for connection 'Ready to receive' state for the duration that the appliance waits for all target devices to connect. The default is 10 minutes.
* 
NOTE: Consider the connection time that it might take for a task to run or for a device to boot. If you set the timeout to 10 minutes and only one device connects after 5 minutes, the appliance resets to 10 minutes to wait for the remaining devices to connect.
3.
Select the Multicast Protocol, as required by your environment:
◦
Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM)
◦
NACK-Oriented Reliable Multicast (NORM)
▪
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a sub-set of the NORM, and is also supported.
While PGM appears to provide faster data transfer, NORM can typically handle higher transmission rates and is in general more reliable. Choose the protocol that best suits your needs.
4.
Set a different IPv4 Multicast address if a different service is using the default address.
5.
If another device on your network is using port 2112, specify another port number in the Control channel port field.
6.
In the Multicast hops field, type the number of multicast hops over subnets. The default value is 1, but you can change it to suit your needs.
7.
Lower the Transmission Rate, if required.
The transmission rate determines the success or failure of the deployment. The default is 8MB.
8.
If you want to revert to the settings included with the default installation, click Reapply factory settings.
9.
Adjust the Log level, as needed by selecting one of the following options:
◦
Fatal errors only
◦
Fatal errors and warnings
◦
Trace logging
◦
Detailed logging
◦
Verbose logging
10.
Click Save.
