Resolve

optimal

repository

This

enables

the

ImageUltra

deploy

and

net-sync

process

to

select

the

ideal

repository

for

deployment

based

on

a

predefined

list

of

repositories

as

defined

by

an

IT

administrator.

The

list

of

repositories

is

a

text-based

.INI

file

that

is

located

in

the

repository

folder.

The

repository

list

is

keyed

by

repository

description

strings,

with

each

key

section

having

corresponding

repository

information

for

other

repositories.

If

a

repository

list

is

found,

a

look-up

is

performed

by

searching

for

the

closest

repository

in

the

repository

list

(based

on

ping

response

times).

If

a

closer

repository

is

found,

the

corresponding

repository

settings

will

be

used

for

deploying

the

image.

However,

if

no

match

is

found,

or

if

a

repository

list

is

not

found,

the

image

is

deployed

from

the

current

repository.

For

an

example

of

a

commented

Reposlst.ini

file

refer

to

the

following:

Note:

To

add

a

repository

to

the

list,

add

a

new

section.

Under

this

section,

copy

the

settings

from

the

PROFILE.INI

file

from

the

bootable

Network

Deploy

CD

that

is

created

by

the

ImageUltra

User

Interface

(GUI).
