Convert Dell Generic Client to Dell Hybrid Client
Prerequisites
● DCA-Enabler version 1.2 is required to convert Ubuntu 18.04 or 20.04 on Dell Ubuntu Generic device to Dell Hybrid Client.
You can download the package from the Drivers and Downloads page atwww.dell.com/support.
● If DCA-Enabler version 1.0 or 1.1 is installed on your device, you must upgrade it to 1.2. To upgrade DCA-Enabler, you must
register the device to Wyse Management Suite 3.2 and push the DCA_Enabler_ Package 1.2.0-xx to the device
using Wyse Management Suite and then deploy DCA-Enabler 1.2.0-xx.
● If the device is not preloaded with the Dell Hybrid client bundle in the recovery partition, you must first deploy and install the
DHC-Fish-Scripts package.
NOTE: If the DCA-Enabler version is 1.1.0-17 or lower, Dell Ubuntu devices are registered to Wyse Management Suite as
Dell Hybrid Client. If the DCA-Enabler version is 1.2.0-xx or greater, the devices are registered as Dell Generic Client.
Steps
1. Register the device to Wyse Management Suite using DCA-Enabler version 1.2.
2. Convert the generic client to Hybrid Client using any of the following methods:
● Using the command Convert to Hybrid Client—see Convert your Dell Generic Client to Hybrid Client.
● Deploying the Dell Hybrid Client 1.1/1.5 Bundles or ISO Image files using the application policy—see Create and deploy
standard application policy to Dell Generic Clients and Create and deploy advanced application policy to Dell Generic
Clients.
NOTE: Before the device conversion is initiated, DCA-Enabler backs-up Wyse Management Suite connection data and
then triggers the Dell Hybrid Client ISO or installer bundle.
The installer completes the conversion and device restarts automatically. After the conversion, the device boots into the
converted Dell Hybrid Client operating system. Dell Client Agent reads the backed-up Wyse Management Suite connection
data and registers to Wyse Management Suite server as a Dell Hybrid Client device.
Example
To convert Dell Generic Clients running Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:
● To Dell Hybrid Client 1.0 or 1.1, you must push the Dell Hybrid Client 1.0 or 1.1 bundle package files using the application
policy.
● To Dell Hybrid Client 1.5, you must push the Dell Hybrid Client ISO package using the application policy. You must push the
OS-image upgrade tool os-upgrade_1.1-10_amd64.deb package, and then push the Dell Hybrid Client 1.5 ISO package
file.
To convert Dell Generic Clients running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS to Dell Hybrid Client 1.5, you must push the Dell Hybrid Client 1.5
bundle package files using the application policy.
