Merlin Imaging from le server
To create and use merlin.rsp and imaging les to perform Merlin imaging on device from File Server, complete the following task:
1 Extract and copy Merlin image rsp and contents on any File Server location, for example, 2.1.x_5070_merlin.rsp and
commandsXml.xml, efi, mbr, recovery.
2 Rename the RSP le which is available in Merlin Image folder, for example, from 2.1.x_5070_merlin.rsp to merlin.rsp.
3 Copy merlin.rsp and other imaging les to the $PLATFORM sub-directory on the FTP location. Place the image at the correct
<PLATFORM> subfolder. This is because the Merlin imaging is platform dependent.
4 Provide this path as value for MerlinUpdate.URL parameter in INI le, and if needed provide credentials for FTP server using
MerlinUpdate.Username and MerlinUpdate.Password parameters and restart the thin client. For example, if the device
model is Wyse 5070 thin client, copy the image and rsp le under
ftp://<IP>/<directory>/5070/ folder, but mention URL as ftp://
<IP>/<directory>/
. The Macro $PLATFORM is automatically appended.
NOTE
: Merlin imaging through File Server works only when you provide URL using INI parameters; if you provide the
same values on the Update Settings page, the imaging does not work.
After restart, Merlin image is downloaded through Delayed Update. A notication is displayed after Merlin image ready. The Merlin
imaging takes place after restart. Merlin image is not downloaded, if Delayed Update is disabled.
Limitations
• If the image version on thin client and Merlin image version on FTP server are the same, then imaging does not take place.
• Downgrading is always allowed for Merlin image. There is no force imaging for Merlin.
• Changes are not preserved after Merlin imaging.
