which you intend to write the hosts file and select View Current Host File .
A Host File Contents window opens that displays the contents of the hosts file
that is currently on that actual device.
b. Verify that there is no information that you want to retain in the device’s current
hosts file that is not also in the hosts file as currently defined in the system
description. If you need to save the device's current hosts file, click
Save As and
save to a different location.
c. In the Network Configuration | Devices | Devices list view, right-click a device or
use Ctrl + Click to select multiple devices, and select Update Host File .
The current hosts file is overwritten with the hosts file as defined in the system
description.
Create record of software installed on devices
If you have not already done so, create a document to keep track of
the software that you plan to install on each of your system devices,
according to your system design. This is especially helpful for
Aurora product devices.
Where to install Browse/MediaFrame software roles
The following table lists the Browse and MediaFrame software roles
and the machines that each of these software roles need to be
installed on. In some cases, the machine on which you install a soft-
ware role differs depending upon the configuration of your particular
MediaFrame or BaseCamp Express system, as well as upon the par-
ticular machines in your system.
As you proceed with subsequent tasks and remove/add software
roles to devices in SiteConfig, you can refer to your table and make
sure you are assigning software roles correctly.
Add roles to devices to tell SiteConfig where to deploy software
when you add software cabs to the deployment group. Removing
roles does not automatically remove the software from the device. To
remove software using SiteConfig, you must remove the role and
then uninstall the completed deployment task.
