Deployment Strategies
There are several different ways to deploy SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. Choose from
various approaches ranging from a local installation using physical media or a network
installation server to a mass deployment using a remote-controlled, highly-customized,
and automated installation technique. Select the method that best matches your require-
ments.
5.1 Deploying up to 10 Workstations
If your deployment of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server only involves 1 to 10 workstations,
the easiest and least complex way of deploying SUSE Linux Enterprise Server is a plain
manual installation as featured in
Chapter 6, Installation with YaST (page 89). Manual
installation can be done in several different ways depending on your requirements:
Installing from the SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Media (page 80)
Consider this approach if you want to install a single, disconnected workstation.
Installing from a Network Server Using SLP (page 80)
Consider this approach if you have a single workstation or a small number of
workstations and if a network installation server announced via SLP is available.
Installing from a Network Server (page 81)
Consider this approach if you have a single workstation or a small number of
workstations and if a network installation server is available.
