4.DeployingLSM-VIAonSeveral
Workstations
Overview
A centralized deployment tool is available to deploy an LSM-VIA version on several XClient-VIA
workstations at once. It can run on Linux and Windows.
It contains a configuration file, to set the IPaddresses of the XClient-VIA to upgrade and a deployment
script, which will retrieve the workstation IPaddresses from the configuration file and send the
installation package through sftp.
At the end of the deployment process, a file summarizes the installation status on the different
workstations.
Prerequisites
• The TCP 22 port must be open for sftp transfer.
• On LSM-VIA workstations:
◦ Users must be evs. The installation will not work with Active Directory users.
◦ The password must be the same on all the workstations.
Procedure
1. Download the archive package from the EVSweb site.
evs-lsm-via-centralized-installer-<tool version number>.tar.gz
where <tool version number> is the full version number of the tool.
2. Copy the package on the workstation from which you will deploy the version, either an XClient-VIA or
a Linux or Windows PC on the same PCLAN network.
This can be done in one of the following ways:
◦ a USB key (formatted in FAT32)
◦ TeamViewer
◦ FTPtransfer (e.g. FileZilla)
3. Unzip the package.
