Local cache image
Secure Managed Client allows you to configure some workstations to use a local
copy of a user’s base image rather than the user’s base image on the storage array.
This method allows for faster boot times and a greater working distance from the
storage array. The local hard drive on each client is formatted, when you enable
the system for local cache. The image files are uniquely named by the SMC
Management Console to prevent data corruption and or data loss for the user.
Creating a local cache base image
1. Verify that you have optimized the Sysprep image. See “Optimize the Sysprep
image for best performance” on page 38.
2. Right-click on the existing active base image.
3. Select Create base local cache image.
4. Enter the appropriate volume name and description.
5. Click Create.
Note: Depending on the size of the image, this process could take several
hours to complete. You may consider creating this image during off hours or
possibly before any end users are allowed to use Secure Managed Client.
Enabling SMC clients for local cache
1. In the SMC Manager window, click on Groups -> Configuration Groups
2. Click New local cache device group. The Local Cache Device Settings window
opens.
3. Move the slider to set the percentage of additional storage you want to use for
local cache. This percentage represents the space on the hard drive that is
reserved for local cache images in addition to the size of the first local cache
base image.
You can use the example scenario on the Local Cache Device Settings to help
you. Enter the number in GB that your base image uses, the size of the hard
drive in GB and the memory size that the client has installed. When you
change the slider percentage or these numbers in the scenario, the number in
GB that will be reserved for local cache will change automatically.
4. Go to Network View -> Devices -> All Devices.
5. From the list, highlight the system you want to configure for local cache, and
drag it to the local cache configuration group that you created in the previous
steps.
Creating local cache user images
1. Right-click Users -> Add user
2. Enter the name of the domain user that you want to add.
3. Click OK. The Create new user image window opens.
4. Select image type -> Local cache image
