You can use the newly added RSA to capture or deploy system images, scan user states and create USMT templates, create boot actions, or to import or export packages containing system images.

For complete information, see the following topics:

•
Capture system images
•
Assign tasks to system deployment
•
Deploy the image manually
•

Tip:
 
TIP: You can also use Boot Actions assigned to a specific RSA. For more information, see Create a boot action.

Importing and exporting appliance components

Schedule the export of components
Use Off-Board Package Transfer
Upload packages for import
Import appliance components
Package components to export
Package file names

You can import and export KACE Systems Deployment Appliance or Remote Site Appliance (RSA) components, such as drivers, network inventory, boot environments, and tasks to a different network location, a different appliance, or an RSA, using packaging.

* 
IMPORTANT: Only system images can be imported and exported from an RSA. Any tasks included with system images imported or exported from the RSA will be removed.

When importing and exporting components, the appliance picks up packages from the appliance restore share directory. When you create a package, the .pkg file contains the index.xml file with the package metadata and the package files are saved in the \\appliance_host_name\restore share directory.

Packages can be large because they contain full disk images or entire operating systems. Keep the package files together when storing and copying them from the appliance to other network locations.

Schedule the export of components

Schedule the export of components

You can set up a schedule to export components from an appliance, or a Remote Site Appliance (RSA) at regular intervals if you created a package for the components and stored the package in the appliance or RSA restore directory.

You can export the database, but only the Quest KACE Technical Support team can re-import the database back to the appliance.

* 
IMPORTANT: Only system images can be exported from an RSA. Any tasks included with system images exported from the RSA will be removed.
1.
On the left navigation pane, click Settings to expand the section, then click Package Management to display the Package Management page.
2.
Click Export SDA Packages to display the Export List page.
3.
Select the components you want to export at a regular interval.
4.
Select Choose Action > Schedule Export for Selected to display the Schedule Export page.
5.
Select the date and time to schedule the export.
6.
Click Save.

The job appears in the queue on the Package Management Queue page and runs at the specified time.

* 
NOTE: Removing a job from the queue also removes the job from the schedule on the Export List page.

Use Off-Board Package Transfer

Use Off-Board Package Transfer

You can use the Off-Board Package Transfer feature to automatically transfer packages that have been exported to the appliance or the Remote Site Appliance (RSA) restore directory to a remote FTP/SFTP server or Samba file share. You can specify a directory for the transfer, and the transfer process creates the directory on the remote server, copies all .xml and .pkg files to that location using the /<Path>/data_<timestamp> naming convention. You can also delete the transferred files from the restore directory.

* 
NOTE: Packages cannot be imported while an off-board package transfer is in progress.
1.
On the left navigation pane, click Settings to expand the section, then click Package Management to display the Package Management page.
2.
Click Off-Board Package Transfer to display the Off-Board Package Transfer page.
3.
Click Enable Offboard Package Transfer to set the transfer details.

Option

Action

Schedule Run

Select the interval and time for the transfer.

Offboard Package Transfer Protocol

Select which file transfer protocol to use to place the files on the remote site. When using the SFTP protocol, password-based authentication must be enabled explicitly on the file server.

Offboard Package Transfer Server

Type the host name or IP address of the device to which the files are transferred.

Path or Share Name

Type the path to the directory or share name for the transfer. Enter the Samba share name without any forward or backward slashes.

User Name

Type the user name for the appliance to use. Entering the user name requires write-access to the remote location.

User Password

Type the password required to access the remote location.

Cleanup Restore

Delete the files automatically from the restore share directory on the appliance or an RSA after a successful transfer.

4.
Click Save.

The job appears in the queue on the Package Management Queue page and runs at the specified time.

* 
NOTE: Removing a job from the queue also removes the job from the schedule on the Export page.
On the left navigation pane, click Settings, then click Appliance Logs to expand the section, then click Scheduled Action Server, and select Output Log to view the results of the transfer.
