Create Replication Shares

Create Replication Shares

You can create Replication Shares on managed devices.

To create a Replication Share you must:

•
Have write permission on the destination path to write the software files.
•
Install the KACE Agent on the Replication Share.
•
Create a label for your devices before starting the process.

Replication Shares can be created only on devices that appear on the Devices list in Inventory. If the device you want to use is not on the Devices list, you need to create an inventory record for the device before you can use it as a Replication Share.

See Managing inventory information.

1.
Go to the Replication Schedule Detail page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Distribution, then click Replication.
c.
Select Choose Action > New.
2.
In the Configure tab, select the Enabled check box.
3.
Optional: Select Failover To Appliance to use the appliance when the Replication Share is not available.
* 
NOTE: Enable Failover To Appliance only after testing the Replication Share.
4.
In the Device drop-down list, select the device to use as a Replication Share.
The Replication Share can be created by two methods:
◦
Locally
◦
On a shared network drive
5.
Select the Operating System and Locales of the patches to replicate. The lists are populated based on the operating systems and locales selected in the patch subscription.
6.
Select the Include Application Patches, Include Windows Feature Updatesand Include Dell Updates check boxes to copy the patch and update files to the Replication Share.
7.
Specify the settings in the Destination Share tab:

Option

Description

Path

The path the Replication device uses for the Replication Share. Applications are copied from the appliance to this location. For a local drive, use local drive syntax, for example: C:\kace_sma_share

For a network drive, use UNC format, for example: \\kaceRep\kace_sma_share\

* 
NOTE: $ notation, for example \\KaceRep\e$, is not supported.

Share Type

Select whether to use a Local Share or UNC.

Credentials

The details of the service account required to connect to the device and run commands. Select existing credentials from the drop-down list, or select Add credential to add credentials not already listed.

See Add and edit User/Password credentials.

Label

The label of the devices using the Replication Share. Verify that the selected label does not have KACE_ALT_LOCATION specified. KACE_ALT_LOCATION takes precedence over the Replication Share for downloading files to devices.

8.
Specify settings in the Download Share tab :

Option

Description

Path

The path used by devices in the replication label to copy items from the replication drive.

For example, a UNC path:

\\fileservername\directory\kace_sma\

Other devices need read permission to copy replication items from this shared folder.

Credentials

The details of the service account required to connect to the device and run commands. Select existing credentials from the drop-down list, or select Add credential to add credentials not already listed.

See Add and edit User/Password credentials.

9.
Specify the following settings in the Schedule tab:

Option

Description

High Bandwidth

The maximum bandwidth to use for replication. If this field is blank, the maximum bandwidth available for replication is used. This field is specified in bytes per second.

Low Bandwidth

The restricted bandwidth to use for replication. If this field is blank, the maximum bandwidth available for replication is used. This field is specified in bytes per second.

Schedule table

The bandwidth used for each hour of the day (24-hour clock format) and each day of the week.

•
To change the bandwidth selection, click in a square.
•
To select hours (columns), click the hour number.
•
To select days (rows), click the day of the week.

Bandwidth is color-coded:

•
White: Replication is off
•
Grey: Replication is on with low bandwidth
•
Blue: Replication is on with high bandwidth

Schedule

Select an existing Replication Schedule in the drop-down list to replicate items according to that schedule.

Notes

Any additional information you want to provide.

10.
Click Save.
The Replication page appears.
11.
Optional: After you have tested the Replication Share, return to 3 and enable Failover To Appliance.

View Replication Share details

View Replication Share details

You can view details of devices used as Replication Shares.

1.
Go to the Replication list:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Distribution, then click Replication.
This page displays a list of the Replication Shares that are available on the appliance. For each Replication Share, a default view shows its Status, replication Task, associated Device, Destination Path, KACE Agent Version, Label, an indication if the Replication Share is Enabled, and the number of files remaining to be copied along with the total size of files remaining to be copied (in the ToDo column). The information appearing in the ToDo column allows you to review the state of replication process for each Replications Share in this list, instead of reviewing individual shares to find out if their replication process is complete.
2.
In the Device column, click the name of a Replication Share to display the Replication Schedule Detail page.
On this page you can:
◦
View the Replication queue: To view items that are queued for replication, click Show Replication Queue below the configuration information. This view is displayed by default when you access the page.
◦
View the Replication inventory: To view items that have been replicated to the share, click Show Share Inventory below the configuration information.
◦
Delete the Replication queue: To view replication items that are marked for deletion, click Show Delete Queue below the configuration information.

Managing credentials

Managing credentials

Add and edit LDAP User/Password credentials
Add and edit Google Workspace credentials

Export credentials information
Delete credentials

The appliance enables you to manage the usernames and passwords required for logging in to other systems, such as managed computers and servers, and the information required for Google or SNMP authentication, from a central location.

Credentials that have been added to the appliance's Credentials Management page are available for selection on drop-down lists in the Inventory (Discovery, Provisioning, and Agentless device management), Distribution (Managed Installations, File Synchronizations, and Replication), and Scripting (Configuration Policies and Security Policies) sections.

In addition, credentials that are updated on the Credentials Management page are automatically updated wherever they are used in the various appliance components. You do not need to independently update each item that uses the credentials.

However, the credentials you add to the appliance must match the credentials on the target systems. If you change the credentials on target systems, you must change them on the appliance's Credentials Management page as well.

If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, you manage credentials for each organization separately.

* 
NOTE: The Credentials Management drop-down list is not available on LDAP configuration pages, and the feature is not used to manage user credentials for accessing the appliance Administrator Console or User Console, which use single sign on and LDAP authentication. See About user accounts and user authentication.

Tracking changes to Credentials Management settings

Tracking changes to Credentials Management settings

If History subscriptions are configured to retain information, you can view the details of the changes made to settings, assets, and objects. This information includes the date the item was created, changed, or deleted, and the user who performed the action, which can be useful during troubleshooting.

See About history settings.
