Delete unassigned post-installation tasks

Delete unassigned post-installation tasks

You can delete unused post-installation tasks to free up disk space.

1.
On the left navigation pane, click Library to expand the section, then click Post-installation Tasks to display the Post-installation Tasks page.
2.
Select the items that you want to remove.
3.
Select Choose Action > Delete.

The items are permanently removed from the appliance, and the available disk space displays on the Dashboard.

Enabling offboard storage

Enabling offboard storage

You can move the data stored on the physical appliance to an external Network Attached Storage (NAS) device to free up disk space on the appliance. You can also move the data stored on a virtual appliance or a Remote Site Appliance (RSA) to an additional virtual disk.

Enabling offboard storage copies all the data from the internal drive, such as images, pre-installation and post-installation tasks, user profiles, source media, boot environments, and drivers to the offboard storage device. Although the data remains on the appliance, deployment activity points to the offboard storage device.

You can migrate data stored on an offboard storage device back to the appliance or RSA if the data does not exceed the onboard storage capacity.

Add a virtual disk for offboard storage

Add a virtual disk for offboard storage

You can add a virtual disk to migrate data stored on a virtual KACE Systems Deployment Appliance or on a Remote Site Appliance (RSA) to an additional virtual disk to free up disk space.

Power off the appliance, add the virtual disk, and then power on the appliance.

Configuring a virtual disk for your KACE Systems Deployment Appliance or RSA requires the following:

•
Ensuring that the virtual disk capacity is at least 250GB. You cannot use a virtual disk with less storage capacity than the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance or RSA onboard storage. For example, if you have 250GB of onboard data, the virtual disk must have more than 250GB of available storage.
•
Planning for your data migration because it can take several hours depending on the amount of data and the network speed. The KACE Systems Deployment Appliance or RSA is unavailable during migration.
1.
On the left navigation pane, click Settings > Control Panel to display the Control Panel, then click Data Storage to display the Data Storage page.
2.
Click Change to offboard storage to display the Data Storage Configuration.
* 
•
If the virtual disk is not added or connected properly, you cannot perform the data migration.
•
If there is more than one virtual disk connected, remove the additional virtual disks so that there is only one virtual disk connected. Restart the procedure to return to the Data Storage Configuration page.
3.
Click Verify device.
The KACE Systems Deployment Appliance starts checking whether it can be reached and configured. Show Details displays the status of the verification.
4.
Click Migrate to copy the data to offboard storage.
The progress bar displays the status.
5.
After the migration completes, click Close.
6.
Verify that the storage type is changed.
If you encounter any errors, click Settings to expand the section, then click Appliance Logs to display the Appliance Logs page, and select Data Storage Configuration logs.

Revert offboard data to onboard storage

Revert offboard data to onboard storage

You can migrate data stored on an offboard storage device back to the appliance or RSA as long as the data does not exceed the onboard storage capacity. The appliance verifies whether it has enough space for the data. If the data on the device exceeds the available space on the appliance, the offboard data is not migrated.

For information on the appliance data storage capacity, go to http://documents.quest.com/kace-systems-deployment-appliance/technical-specifications-for-virtual-appliances/.

1.
On the left navigation pane, click Settings > Control Panel to display the Control Panel, then click Data Storage to display the Data Storage page.
2.
Click Change to offboard storage to display the Data Storage Configuration wizard.
3.
Do one of the following to revert offboard data back to onboard storage:
◦
Added new data to the offboard-storage device:
a.
Click Revert to original data that was on the appliance before migrating to offboard storage. Any new data stored on the offboard-storage device after migrating the onboard data to the offboard storage will be lost.
b.
Click Next and select Yes, revert to onboard storage.
◦
No new data added data to the offboard-storage device:
a.
Click Copy data from offboard storage to the appliance.
b.
Click Verify storage space.
After the appliance verifies whether it has enough space to accept the data from the device, confirm that you want to continue the migration.
c.
Click Migrate.
◦
If you are migrating RSA data to a virtual disk, synchronize the RSA with the appliance before migrating the data to the virtual disk.  
* 
NOTE: The RSA becomes inaccessible when you reboot the RSA during reverse migration from offboard to onboard storage.
a.
On the left navigation pane, click Deployments, and click Remote Sites to display the Remote Site Appliance page.
b.
Select the RSA, then select Choose Action > Sync.
