7.5 Distributing Images to Point of
Service Terminals
To distribute new or updated system images, you must first copy the images into the
central RSYNC directory of the Administration Server and then transfer the images to
the Branch Servers. From there the images are distributed to the Point of Service termi-
nals when they boot.
NOTE: Manual Distribution of ISOBoot Images
If you are unable to electronically distribute Point of Service images over your
network, you must manually distribute the images uses ISOBoot images.
7.5.1 Copying Images to the Administration
Server RSYNC Directory
The first step to distribute new system images is to copy the images from the
/srv/
SLEPOS/image
directory to the RSYNC directory,
/srv/SLEPOS
. Before the
RSYNC service can transmit the images to the Branch Server, client images must be
located in the
/srv/SLEPOS/image
directory on the Administration Server, and
the boot image must be located in
/srv/SLEPOS/boot
.
NOTE: Manually Copying System Images
Copying the system images to the RSYNC directory is done manually to control
which system image types and versions are distributed to the Branch Servers.
Copying System Images to the Administration Server’s
RSYNC Directory
The following example demonstrates how to put a previously-extended Graphical system
image in the Administration Server’s RSYNC directory so it can be received, on request,
by the Branch Server:
