When you upload a Linux source media, the appliance automatically creates a Linux boot environment.
1. |
Specify the source media used to install the OS during deployment, such as CD-ROM or network install. To do that, open the Boot Environment Detail page for this KBE, and select the appropriate PXE Initrd File option. |
2. |
Specify one or more package repositories associated with this OS. To do that, open the Source Media Detail page associated with this KBE, and under Package Repositories, specify the URLs, as required. |
3. |
Optional. To save Linux packages used during the installation to the appliance, on the General Settings page (KACE Systems Deployment appliance only), or Remote Site Settings page (Remote Site Appliance only), under Linux Repository Cache Options, select Enable Repository Caching. Selecting this option speeds up deployments and decreases overall bandwidth usage in organization with a high number of managed devices. |
The name of the newly created Linux boot environment is the same as the name of the Linux source media with the BE suffix. For example, if you upload a Linux source media called CentOS, the appliance assigns CentOS BE as the boot environment name.
You can update the Windows Pre-installation Environment (WinPE) related drivers necessary to build a KACE Boot Environment (KBE) and add the drivers to the appropriate kbe_windows_x64 or the kbe_windows_x86 share directory on the appliance.
1. |
Go to https://support.quest.com/kb/111717 to download the drivers. Use your Support credentials to log in, then select KBE Driver Pack. |
2. |
You can set a KACE Boot Environment (KBE) as the default KBE for the appliance.
If you change the share password, create a new KBE using the new password.
1. |
On the left navigation pane, click Settings > Control Panel to display the Control Panel, then click General Settings to display the General Settings page. |

TIP: When you review the details of a KBE using the Boot Environment Detail page, the Default field indicates if the selected KBE is a default boot environment. |
1. |
On the left navigation pane, click Deployments, then click Boot Environments to display the Boot Environments page. |
2. |
Select the boot environment that you want to install to the USB flash device to display the Boot Environment Detail page. |
3. |
To hide this boot environment from the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance PXE boot menu, select Hide Boot Environment from SDA PXE Boot Menu. |
4. |
To hide this boot environment from the PXE boot menu of all associated Remote Site Appliances, select Hide Boot Environment from all RSA PXE Boot Menus. |
