7.3 Installation of Acronis OS Deploy Server
Acronis OS Deploy Server is a component that performs centralized deployment through the
network with the help of Acronis Snap Deploy Agents.
Before installing Acronis OS Deploy Server, you need to install the Acronis License Server and import
license numbers to it (for more information see the previous section).
To install Acronis OS Deploy Server:
1.
Run the Acronis Snap Deploy setup program
2.
Click Install Acronis OS Deploy Server
3.
Follow the Install Wizard instructions on the screen.
4.
Reboot on prompt.
The wizard will ask you for Acronis License Server. Browse to the server, or enter its name or IP
address, or let the server be found automatically on the network. This will not decrease the number of
deployment licenses. The program just checks the availability of the licenses and stores the specified
Acronis License Server parameters to be able to access the Acronis License Server later, when the
deployment is launched.
7.4 Installation and setup of Acronis PXE Server
Acronis PXE Server allows the network booting of the Acronis Snap Deploy Agent, Acronis Master
Image Creator or Preinstallation Environment on target computers. Using Acronis PXE Server
considerably reduces the time required for booting the computers as compared to using bootable
media. It also eliminates the need to have a technician onsite to install the bootable media into the
system that must be booted. This allows for unattended scheduled deployment.
Using Acronis PXE Server makes sense if there is a Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server in
your network, so that the booting computers can automatically get IP addresses. Without DHCP, you
can boot computers from PXE, but have to configure their network settings manually.
We recommend that you have only one PXE server within a subnet to ensure predictability of the
booting computers behavior.
