HP Linux thin clients image build 49 (t5125 L1ST3149, t5525 L4ST3149 and t5515 L3ST3149) includes a new FTP/DHCP image update tool, which allows you to perform local updates and remote management. NOTE: Although HP now offers the FTP Image Upload tool, HP recommends that you use Altiris Deployment Solution to update Linux thin clients. Every thin client includes a license for the Altiris Deployment Solution, which provides end-to-end image management.

Updating thin client images You can use two different methods to update the thin client image using the FTP/DHCP Image Update tool: • Local client FTP image update - requires local client configuration to set up FTP parameters. • DHCP image update - requires no local client configuration or setup. Local client FTP image update You can enable and configure the FTP update feature on each thin client by using DHCP or by using the HP Desktop Options utility in the System Configuration Utility.

DHCP image update If you want to use DHCP image update, the thin client requires no configuration or setup because the DHCP options provide all the necessary configuration information and direct the thin client to begin the update process.

Image file integrity checking To make sure the image file was transferred without corruption, you can use an md5 checksum of the image file. To create a file containing the md5sum checksum of the image, use the following command: md5sum -b [FILE] > [FILE].md5 For example, for L1ST3149.DD, issue the following command and place the output in the same directory as the image file: md5sum -b L1ST3149.DD > L1ST3149.DD.md5 NOTE: - 32-MB images require both a .DD file and a .DD.md5 file.
