Managing targets
A target list contains all the devices to which the deployment is to be assigned. This node provides access to the members of the selected list and their respective information. If the target list is defined by a subnet mask, this list will be filled in dynamically and the devices will add themselves once they are booted. By default this list is updated every 4 minutes.
The table of the target list's node displays the following information:
Parameter | Description |
---|---|
Name | This column lists the names of all targets. |
MAC Address | The MAC, that is, the hardware address of the device. |
Type | This field indicates if the device was added to the target list as an individual device (Target) or if it is part of a subnet mask (PXE Mask). |
Status | This field displays the current status of the selected device with regards to the operating system deployment. |
Activation Status | This field displays the status of the target device with regards to their OS installation. The possible values are Inactive Target illustrated also with a blue flag , if the installation process was launched with success and Active Target illustrated also with a green flag , if the device is still waiting to launch its OS installation or an error occurred. |
DHCP Activated | Indicates if the internal DHCP server is enabled. |
