Deploying local cache on SMC clients
1. Make sure that the hard drive is unformatted.
2. Determine how the hard drives on local cache enabled SMC clients will be
formatted:
v Administrator required formatting
To require the local hard drive to be formatted, you may right-click on the
client in the local cache configuration group and select Initialize drive on
next boot
. This option can also be used to reformat the hard drive after it
has been formatted for local cache.
v User selected formatting
If you have not selected the administrator-required formatting option and the
hard drive has not been previously formatted for local cache, the user will be
prompted to allow the drive to be formatted when they log on to the client.
3. Change the boot order to:
a.
Hard drive
b. iSCSI
4. Log on to the local cache SMC client to initiate the base image download. At
this time, if the administrator required formatting option has not been selected,
the user will be prompted to allow the drive to be formatted.
Note: After a period of time, the SMC client will initiate downloading the local
cache base image to the hard drive. This process can take up to an hour. In the
event of a reboot, the download will be resumed. Since this download happens
in the background, the user does not have to wait for the download to
complete before using the image.
5. After the download is completed, ensure that the local cache SMC client is
configured to boot to the hard drive.
Assigned seating
Assigned seating allows you to associate an image to an SMC client, rather than a
Secure Managed Client user. With assigned seating, the SMC client will bypass the
ULOS login and boot directly to the assigned image.
Note: Standard images and single images support assigned seating. Local cache
images do not support assigned seating.
1.
From the SMC Manager, right click a standard base image or a single image
base image and select Create assigned seating image
2. Enter the appropriate volume name and description for the assigned seating
image.
3. Click Create.
4. Click OK. The Storage array request window will display a status of Success
when the operation is complete
5. From Network View -> Devices -> All devices, drag the SMC client that you
want to configure for assigned seating to the Assigned seating branch of the
storage array.
6. Under Assigned images, drag the assigned image that you just created to the
appropriate SMC client listed under Assigned seating.
