Install Packages (.RIPs) using the PC Transplant Editor and the Wise MSI Editor tools
from the Deployment Server Console.
Deploying and managing servers
Deployment Solution includes features designed specifically for deploying and managing
network or Web servers. Server-specific features include scripted installs for initial
installation, and support for remote management cards, multiple network adapters,
history transfers to support rip and replace redeployment, and additional functionality
required for automating server management.
Deployment Solution also integrates with other hardware vendors to provide systems
and tools to manage large server installations and support automatic deployment
strategies. These unified systems simplify and automate server configurations and
large-scale migrations, and support emerging hardware for ultra high-density server
systems.
From a Deployment Console you can build deployment jobs to run scripted installs for
Windows and Linux servers. You can run these unattended installs directly over the
network for individual Web or network servers. You can create answer files for each
scripted install from a Deployment Console.
You can also run server-specific scripts and redeployment tasks. Enhanced task logging
and history tracking features let you recall deployment actions to quickly redeploy
mission-critical servers.
