DeTOS 7 Administration Manual

4.3 Local Storage (Thin Clients Only)

The Local Storage section of the DeTOS Control Panel allows the administrator to choose one of three modes for how

local storage is utilized. Note, these settings do not exist on VDI Blaster terminals.

1. From the DeTOS Desktop, select DeTOS → DeTOS Control Panel.

2. Click the Local Storage icon on the left hand side of the Control Panel, under System.

No Local Storage: Selecting this mode disables persistence. The thin client becomes stateless and

relies completely on the management server for all its configurations. Be sure to press the Apply button

and then reboot the terminal for this mode to take effect.

Enable Local Storage (default): While running in this mode, DeTOS will write to the local DOM each

and every time configurations are added, deleted or modified under the DeTOS Control Panel. Press the

Apply button and then reboot the terminal for this mode to take effect.

Enable Snapshot Storage: To utilize local storage in a “profile-like” manner. Be sure to press the Apply

button, and then reboot. Upon reboot, configure the terminal as desired, and then press the Take

Snapshot button. From now on, the thin client will use the same exact configuration as when the

snapshot was taken - even after being rebooted.

Clear Local Storage: Press this button to clear out all settings currently stored in local or snapshot

storage. Be sure to reboot the terminal after you pressed this button.

Take Snapshot: While running in a Snapshot Storage mode, you may press this button to capture the

terminal's current connections and settings configuration. Be sure to reboot the terminal after you

pressed this button.

HELPFUL TIP: No matter which persistence option you select, it is recommended that you password protect the DeTOS Control Panel to

prevent your end-users from accidentally changing the mode. See section “4.4.2 Agent Password” for more information.
