HP Device Manager 4.5 - Imaging Guide

Deploying images without PXE

HPDM supports two modes to deploy an image without PXE. One is a cached mode, and the other is a non-

cached mode. The cached mode is a new feature added in HPDM 4.5. If the thin client uses an advanced

network, such as wireless, 802.1x, etc., please use the Cached Imaging mode to capture an image.

The following table shows which formats are supported when deploying images to thin clients.

Operating system Image format (non-cached mode) Image format (cached mode)

WES7 .ibr, .img, .dd, .dd.gz, .hpimg .ibr

WES09 .ibr, .img, .dd, .dd.gz, .hpimg .ibr

HP ThinPro 3 .img, .dd, .dd.gz, .hpimg .dd.gz

HP ThinPro 4 .img, .dd, .dd.gz, .hpimg .dd.gz

HP Smart Zero Core .img, .dd, .dd.gz .dd.gz

Deploying images using the non-cached mode

NOTES:

If you want to deploy the .ibr image format to WES thin clients using the non-

cached mode, Share Folders are required.

Deployment of images using the non-cached mode cannot be done when using a

wireless connection.

There must be at least 200 MB of free disk space on the thin client when deploying

an .ibr image to a WES09 device.

1. In the HPDM Console, display the operating system tab containing the names of the clients to which you

want to deploy an image.

2. Select the Task Templates tab in the Task pane, and then select the “Deploy Image” template that you

created by capturing or importing an image.
