6.5 Downloading Images from the
Administration Server
After the Branch Server is up and running, you can run the
possyncimages.pl
script to download the Point of Service images that have been created from the Admin-
istration Server to the
/srv/tftpboot
directories on the Branch Server.
1
Verify the
scPosImage
object settings for the Point of Service images in the
/srv/tftpboot/image
directory.
Create the
scPosImage
objects and set the
scPosImageVersion
attribute
to
Active
before you boot the Point of Service terminals, so you can keep track
of the most recent image version before the images are copied. Manually remove
old images from the Administration Server to avoid pulling the same image twice.
For more information on setting the
scPosImageVersion
attribute to
Active
, see Section 7.4.7, “Activating Images” (page 86).
2
Run
possyncimages.pl
at the Branch Server console to download the Point
of Service images.
The
possyncimages.pl
script can also be used to update Point of Service
images on the Branch Server. However, to implement image version changes,
you should also activate the version changes inside the corresponding
scPosImage
objects in the LDAP directory, keeping track of the most recent
image versions and manually removing old images from the Administration
Server. This will help to avoid pulling the same image twice.
3
Verify the result of the
possyncimages.pl
command by checking the contents
of the following Branch Server directories:
•
/srv/tftpboot/boot
•
/srv/tftpboot/image
For more information on the Administration and Branch Server directory structure, see
Appendix C, SUSE Linux Enterprise Point of Service Files and Directory Structure
(page 219).
