Administration Package Deployment

You can select a package and display progress status to determine whether the package was properly deployed, and where.

Select one of the two options below:

• Display all targeted nodes

  Displays the Nodes where the package was deployed. Nodes where the package deployment failed are also listed. If the package has never been deployed, the list is empty.

  Default setting.

• Display all nodes in the node view <NODEVIEW_NAME>

  Displays all nodes from the selected nodes view (all nodes, even if the package was not deployed). The purpose of this feature is to simplify package deployment in a nodes view.

Columns

• Package Date + Package Creator + Package Origin

  Displays the package version.

• Deployed Version

  • Up-to-date: The latest version has been deployed to the node.
  • Package sent: The node settings package has been deployed to the node.
  • Outdated: The package was deployed to the node, but it is not the latest version.
  • Not deployed: The package was not deployed to the node.

• Failed Operations

  The last deployment failed.

Possible actions

• Update Outdated

  Opens the deployment dialog box. Nodes for which a package can be updated are selected in the deployment dialog box.

• Clear Failure Message

  Deletes the message about the last procedure failure.

• Deploy

  Click Deploy to send the contents of the package to all target nodes. The deployment dialog box opens. Nodes selected previously are still selected in the deployment dialog box.

  All Company / Node combinations are displayed in the selection dialog box.

  • To apply a filter on the Nodes list, enter a criterion in the OS and / or Node view fields.

  • Select nodes one by one or click Select Filtered / Unselect All to perform a quick select or unselect of Companies / nodes.

  • Click Ok to confirm the deployment targets. The message "Operation in progress" is displayed in the status bar.

  If the Unselect all button is not activated, the previous filter selection will be combined with the current filter selection.

  After deployment, if an error occurs, hover the mouse over the status of the error message to see its details. Fix the error and retry the deployment.
