Link the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance to an RSA

Link the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance to an RSA

Linking the appliance to the Remote Site Appliance (RSA) enables the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance to be aware of the RSA. Linking enables you to access the RSA and the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance from the same session if the user name and password on the linked appliances match.

In most cases you can link an RSA with the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance at installation time. However, if you clear the configuration on an RSA, making it unaware of the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance, use this procedure to link it to the RSA.

1.
On the left navigation pane, click Settings > Control Panel to display the Control Panel, then click KACE Linking to display the KACE Linking page.
2.
Click Enable KACE Linking to display the connection settings.
3.
In Host Name, enter a unique, logical name for this appliance. This name appears in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information when appliances are linked.
4.
In Remote Login Expiration enter the number of minutes to keep the link open. When the time period expires, provide login credentials when switching to a linked appliance. The default is 120 minutes.
5.
In Request Timeout, enter the number of seconds the appliance waits for a remote appliance to respond to a linking request. The default is 10 seconds.
6.
Click Save to display the KACE Linking Key Fingerprint and the KACE Linking Key (this server) fields.
7.
Copy the text in the Name field and the text in the Key field and paste it in a central location, such as a Notepad file.
The text that you paste in Notepad is the text that you copy and paste in the Names and Keys from one appliance to the other linked appliances.
8.
Repeat the preceding steps on each RSA that you want to link.
You can also link multiple KACE Systems Deployment Appliances. For more information, see Enable appliance linking.
Add the RSA to the Remote Sites tab to configure the components that you want to synchronize to the RSA.

Set default KBE for the RSA

Set default KBE for the RSA

You can set a default KACE Boot Environment (KBE) for the Remote Site Appliance (RSA).

When you select a default KBE for the RSA, this is indicated on the Remote Site Detail page, under Boot Environments. For more information about this page, see the associated help page.

* 
NOTE: You can also set the default KBE for the linked appliance. For more information, see Set new KBE as default for the appliance.
1.
On the left navigation pane, click Settings > Control Panel to display the Control Panel, then click Remote Site Settings to display the Remote Site Settings page.
2.
Under Default RSA Boot Environments, select the default KBE for each OS architecture, as required.
3.
Click Save.

Review RSA settings

Review RSA settings

You can add the RSA to the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance Administrator Console to enable you to synchronize the components to deploy at the remote site. The RSA extends only one KACE Systems Deployment Appliance; however, there is no limit to the number of RSAs that you can add to the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance.

You can synchronize scripted installations, system images, boot environments, and user states to the RSA.

When you synchronize a linked RSA with the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance, any user states on the appliance also appear on the User States list page in the KACE Remote Appliance Administrator Console. When you review individual user state contents, the ability to edit applicable fields and log contents are only available for those user states that are captured locally, but not for any of the user states captured on a linked appliance. Any user states captured on an RSA can be exported.

Pre-installation and post-installation tasks that deployments use are considered dependencies, and are automatically pushed to the RSA.

* 
NOTE: RSA synchronization is not available during an off-board storage migration.
1.
On the left navigation pane, click Deployments, then click Remote Sites to display the Remote Site Appliances page.
2.
On the Remote Site Appliances page, click the Host Name column of the RSA whose settings you want to review.
3.
On the Remote Site Detail page, scroll down to Boot Environments. Synchronize the boot environment to network boot the remote devices to the RSA, and to test the RSA configuration. Then select the other components that you want to synchronize to the RSA.
Any check boxes that appear disabled in this section represent the components that can not be added or removed. For example, if you can not remove a specific boot environment because the check box representing it is disabled, that is because the synced image requires it by default.
4.
Review the options listed under Scripted Installations, System Images, and User States, and ensure that only those components that you want to deploy are selected.
◦
When you view this page in the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance Administrator Console, any system images already captured by the RSA, and not the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance, are listed under System Images, however these options appear disabled. That is because these images already exist on that RSA and cannot be removed by simply clearing these options synchronizing it with the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance.
◦
Any images that are captured by the associated KACE Systems Deployment Appliance appear in the list and can be selected or cleared, as required.
5.
Scroll down to Dependencies. Review the options listed here, to ensure that only those components that you want to deploy are selected.
For example, the USMT Toolkit option in this section appears disabled. The USMT Toolkit allows you to capture user states. When you synchronize the RSA with the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance, and the USMT Toolkit is already uploaded to the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance, the USMT Toolkit is added to the RSA, allowing it to capture user states. You cannot clear this option. For information on how to upload the USMT Toolkit to the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance, see Upload USMT software from Media Manager.
6.
Verify if the RSA version matches the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance version, and upgrade it, if needed:
a.
Observe the details appearing under Upgrade Remote Site:
▪
Upgrade Status: Indicates if the RSA is up to date.
▪
Current Version: Displays the current RSA version.
▪
Last Check: Shows the date and time the RSA version was checked.
▪
License Synced: Indicates if the RSA license matches the license specified on the associated KACE Systems Deployment Appliance.
b.
To check the RSA version, click Check Remote Site Version.
c.
To upgrade the RSA to the latest version, click Upgrade Remote Site.
* 
TIP: You can also upgrade one or more RSAs from the Remote Site Appliances page by selecting one or more appliances in the list and selecting Choose Action > Upgrade.
d.
To synchronize the linked KACE Systems Deployment Appliance license with the RSA (if applicable), click Sync License.
* 
TIP: You can also synchronize the license on the Remote Site Appliances page by selecting one or more appliances in the list and selecting Choose Action > Sync License. Similarly, to synchronize the data on one or more RSAs with the data on the associated KACE Systems Deployment Appliance, select Choose Action > Sync Data.
7.
If you made any changes to the settings on this page, click Save and Sync.
Save and Sync is disabled if:
◦
An off-board storage migration is in progress.
◦
If the RSA and linked KACE Systems Deployment Appliance do not have a matching license. To enable it, under Upgrade Remote Site, click Sync License. When the license is successfully synchronized, click Save and Sync. You can also synchronize the licenses of multiple RSAs on the Remote Site Appliances list page. To do that, select them in the list and click Choose Action > Sync License.
◦
If the RSA is not on the same version as the linked KACE Systems Deployment Appliance. To update it, click Upgrade Remote Site. When the RSA is successfully upgraded, click Save and Sync. You can also upgrade multiple RSAs on the Remote Site Appliances list page. To do that, select them in the list and click Choose Action > Upgrade.
The RSA is locked until the synchronization completes.

Next steps

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
•
