Create a Linux boot Environment

Create a Linux boot Environment

When you upload a Linux source media, the appliance automatically creates a Linux boot environment.

1.
Specify the source media used to install the OS during deployment, such as CD-ROM or network install. To do that, open the Boot Environment Detail page for this KBE, and select the appropriate PXE Initrd File option.
2.
Specify one or more package repositories associated with this OS. To do that, open the Source Media Detail page associated with this KBE, and under Package Repositories, specify the URLs, as required.
3.
Optional. To save Linux packages used during the installation to the appliance, on the General Settings page (KACE Systems Deployment appliance only), or Remote Site Settings page (Remote Site Appliance only), under Linux Repository Cache Options, select Enable Repository Caching. Selecting this option speeds up deployments and decreases overall bandwidth usage in organization with a high number of managed devices.

The name of the newly created Linux boot environment is the same as the name of the Linux source media with the BE suffix. For example, if you upload a Linux source media called CentOS, the appliance assigns CentOS BE as the boot environment name.

Update Windows drivers

Update Windows drivers

You can update the Windows Pre-installation Environment (WinPE) related drivers necessary to build a KACE Boot Environment (KBE) and add the drivers to the appropriate kbe_windows_x64 or the kbe_windows_x86 share directory on the appliance.

1.
Go to https://support.quest.com/kb/111717 to download the drivers. Use your Support credentials to log in, then select KBE Driver Pack.
2.
Navigate to the <appliance>/driver_packs folder to download the appropriate WinPE driver pack.
3.
Manually copy the drivers to one of the following directories:
◦
\\<appliance_IP>\drivers\kbe_windows_x86
◦
\\<appliance_IP>\drivers\kbe_windows_x64
4.
Re-cache the drivers. See Re-cache drivers.
Set the new KBE as the default.

Set new KBE as default for the appliance

Set new KBE as default for the appliance

You can set a KACE Boot Environment (KBE) as the default KBE for the appliance.

* 
NOTE: You can also set the default KBE for each linked RSA. For more information, see Set default KBE for the RSA.

If you change the share password, create a new KBE using the new password.

1.
On the left navigation pane, click Settings > Control Panel to display the Control Panel, then click General Settings to display the General Settings page.
2.
Under Boot Environment Options, select the new KBE.
3.
Click Save.
* 
TIP: When you review the details of a KBE using the Boot Environment Detail page, the Default field indicates if the selected KBE is a default boot environment.

Hide boot environments from the PXE boot menu

Hide boot environments from the PXE boot menu

Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) is a standard client–server environment that allows administrators to boot a PXE-enabled system using a collection of files stored on a network server. In a default installation, a PXE boot menu lists all Windows and Linux boot environments that exist on the appliance. Boot environments provide the drivers and other resources that a target device requires to network boot from the appliance.

In some cases, your appliance may have one or more older KACE Boot Environments (KBEs) that you do not want to appear in the PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) boot menu. You can choose to display or hide boot selected boot environments available on the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance, or on all associated Remote Site Appliances.

1.
On the left navigation pane, click Deployments, then click Boot Environments to display the Boot Environments page.
2.
Select the boot environment that you want to install to the USB flash device to display the Boot Environment Detail page.
3.
To hide this boot environment from the KACE Systems Deployment Appliance PXE boot menu, select Hide Boot Environment from SDA PXE Boot Menu.
4.
To hide this boot environment from the PXE boot menu of all associated Remote Site Appliances, select Hide Boot Environment from all RSA PXE Boot Menus.
After selected this option, if you want this boot environment to appear on a specific Remote Site Appliance, and to remain hidden on all other Remote Site Appliances, on the Remote Site Detail page, under Boot Environments, in the row containing the newly hidden Boot Environment, you must clear the Hidden check box. Making this change does not affect any other Remote Site Appliances.
5.
Click Save.
6.
Initiate the PXE boot menu on the associated appliance, and verify that the newly hidden boot environment no longer appears in the list.
