18 Orchestrating User Moves

The steps below show how to move users from one desk to another using device-based allocation.

Before you begin:
Obtain the MAC addresses of the zero client the user is currently using and of the zero client they will be
moving to. MAC addresses are shown on a label on the zero client.

1. From the Connection Brokering > Allocation screen, right-click the zero client (listed in the

Thinclient column) and select Disconnect device. (Use the MAC address to help identify the device.)

2. Right-click the zero client that the user is moving to and select Disconnect device.

NOTE: Disconnecting devices ensures that the zero clients do not have active PCoIP sessions.

3. From the user’s new zero client, ask them to enter their user name and click Connect. The zero

client display shows the allocated device.

4. Ask the user to click Connect again. The PCoIP session starts.

19 Updating Sentral Host Agent Software

Sentral can update the host agent installed on blades from version 6.5 to version 6.9. From Sentral
Console you can deploy a package (including the host agent and an answer file) to large groups of
devices at the same time.

The steps below show how to update host agent software.

NOTE: Before you begin, ensure you have

created a group called updates (this is the name used below; however, you can use any name)

placed the host agent update package (Softwareupdate.zip) and answer file in a
directory you can access from Sentral Console.

1. From the hierarchical tree, drag the blades you are updating the updates group.

2. From the menu, click Management > Hosts > All Hosts.

3. Right click in an empty space and select Update Host Agent Group.
