Creating Bootable USB Keys for Deployment Updates
You can create bootable USB keys for deployment updates, using any third-
party or free tool. You can start your managed system by the bootable CD or
USB storage. After the system starts up, it automatically runs the selected
updates. After the update is done, you can remove the CD or USB storage,
and reboot the system to your host OS.
You can use bootable ISO to apply the updates if:
• you have a server running an operating system that is not supported by
Repository Manager, such as BSD, Solaris, or older versions of Microsoft
Windows, RedHat Linux or SuSE Linux.
• you are using Linux versions such as Ubuntu or Debien.
• you prefer to do your updates (regardless of OS) in an out-of-band method
To create bootable USB keys, using the tool - UNetBootIn as an example:
1
Download the UNetBootIn for Windows available at:
sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin/files/UNetbootin/442/unetbootin-
windows-442.exe/download.
2 Run Repository Manager and generate the deployment media.
3 Start UNetBootIn and select the Diskimage option.
4 Click […] adjacent to the ISO dropdown and navigate to the ISO created
by Repository Manager.
