Monitoring the Setup Deployment


After the build is successfully completed the files are put at the required location on the OSD Manager for deployment. To now launch the actual installation process and monitor it proceed as follows:

  1. Manually switch on the target device.
     It will boot on the PXE boot section and the operating system installation is executed. 

    Warning

    Note:

    Do not start the target devices before the project is finished and ready to launch the installation. If the target devices are already running the PXE boot will not find the files for the installation and the deployment and installation of the new OS on the target devices will not take place.

  2. You can follow the progress of the installation by selecting the Assigned Objects > Target List > Your Target List node in the left window pane.
     The right pane displays the target list members with their status information. Find your target device, the device you just switched on and follow the different stages in this view. At the same time you can see on the screen of the target device the advancement of the process.
