NComputing L-Series User Manual rev.05.07.12Page 95 of 958.3 Deployment Tasks – Installing and Configuring a new Computer LabFor this example, we will go through the steps of initially deploying a series of devices, verifying theirconnectivity and performing some initial configuration tasks. These actions demonstrate the use of thefollowing vSpace console features:• Performing a firmware update on multiple devices simultaneously• Storing and applying a device profile to multiple devices simultaneouslyThe Scenario:A school is adding a lab with an additional 20-devices to their existing NComputing deployment. Toexpedite the deployment process, they will perform as many tasks as they can from the host rather thanconfiguring individual devices.Step 1 – Connect and Configure the First DeviceAfter creating a host system with sufficient hardware resources for the intended user load, andcompleting the vSpace installation and registration process outlined in 1.1 Installing vSpace and 1.2Registering vSpace of this guide, the administrator connects the first device to the host created for thislab. This device will serve as the template for the rest of the devices in the lab.Once connected, the administrator locates the device from the host under the L-series Device list (6.1 L-series of this guide). The administrator right-clicks on the device and then selects “Update DeviceFirmware” to initiate a firmware update on the selected device. Once that process is complete and thedevice reboots, the administrator can double-click on the device and configure it as desired (6.3Information Tab through 6.9 Update Tab of this guide).Step 2 – Store the First Device’s Configuration ProfileAfter completing the configuration process on the selected device, the administrator can then right-clickon the device in the L-series Devices list of the console and select “Store Configuration Profile” (6.12Creating Profiles of this guide) to save this configuration for use on the rest of the devices in the lab.Step 3 – Connect and Configure the Remaining DevicesIt is now time to connect the remaining devices. Once the devices are connected, the administrator canperform a firmware update on all of them simultaneously by selecting the group and initiating afirmware update as outlined in Step 3.Once the devices have completed their firmware update, the administrator can then apply the firstdevice’s Configuration Profile to the remaining group in one step by again right-clicking on the groupand selecting “Apply Configuration Profile” (as described in 6.14 Applying Profiles of this guide).P/N 163-0045 Rev05.07.12
