Network boot a target device

Network boot a target device

You must network boot the target device in to the KACE Boot Environment (KBE) to access the KBE Main Menu to deploy the operating system manually.

Before you boot the target device in to the KBE, you can change the duration that the Boot Manager is active on the target device to prevent the boot sequence from interruption, such as a user changing the boot sequence option to boot from the local drive. See Set the Boot Manager timeout.
1.
Boot the target device in to the KBE.
◦
For local devices, go to the BIOS on the target device and select Network Controller to network boot the target device in to the KBE.
◦
For remote devices, initiate a remote desktop connection or open VNC-Java Remote Control session on the device to network boot the target device in to the KBE.
2.
Select the interface for the Boot Manager (the black screen), based on whether the device Network Interface Card (NIC) supports integrated graphics.
◦
Graphical Menu: Supports selecting options using arrow keys.
◦
Text Menu: Supports older NICs that do not support integrated graphics, but allows using arrow keys.
◦
Basic Menu: Supports NICs that do not have integrated graphic support and cannot recognize arrow keys.
3.
Select the architecture for the KBE that supports the devices's hardware.
The device boots in to the K000 Boot Environment, and the KBE Main Menu appears.

Deploy the image manually

Deploy the image manually

You can perform scripted installation or system image deployments manually from the KBE Main Menu.

Network boot the device in to the KBE to launch the KBE Main Menu. After the device boots, you can access the device remotely using a VNC-Java Remote Control session. See Access remote devices using a VNC session.
* 
NOTE: Depending on the bandwidth of your network, the number of tasks, and the size of the images you are deploying, manual deployments might take several minutes to a few hours to complete.
1.
From the KBE Main Menu, click the deployment type, for example Imaging.
2.
Click Deploy image to this device.
3.
In Image Name, click the name of the image you want to install on this machine.
Only system images relevant to the architecture of the selected KBE appear in the list.
◦
If you are using the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance to deploy system images, the list that appears shows the relevant images captured by the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance.
◦
If you are using an RSA (Remote Site Appliance) to deploy system images, the list that appears shows only those images captured by the RSA, together with any images synced from the associated KACE Systems Deployment Appliance.
4.
Ensure the Restart Automatically after deployment check box is selected to reboot the device after the image is applied.
Optional. You can enable this option by default on the General Settings page:
a.
Open the Administrator Console.
b.
On the left navigation pane, click Settings > Control Panel to display the Control Panel, then click General Settings to display the General Settings page.
c.
Under Imaging Options, select the Default setting to automatically reboot after manual deployment check box. Select this check box if you want the target system to reboot automatically after a manual deployment.
d.
Click Save, and return to the KBE Main Menu.
5.
Click Start deploy.
A progress bar appears at the bottom of the page, indicating how much progress has been made through the task.
The VNC-Java Remote Control session remains open while the tasks performed in KBE are run. From the session, you can view the progress of the pre-installation and image installation tasks, as well as any post-installation tasks that are performed in the KBE by re-establishing a connection.
If one or more of deployment tasks fail, the Task Error page appears, displaying the failure details. Depending on the nature of the issue, you can retry or resume the execution of the failed task, or cancel the deployment. Alternatively, you can re-start or shut down the device, if required. A message box appears, indicating the outcome of the selected operation, such as: Image deployment failed. See log for details.
If a deployment fails without the user's interaction, the Deploy Log field appears on the Windows Imaging page, containing the log entries. If the deployment is cancelled by the user, the Deploy Log also appears, but the field is not populated.
