Altiris Deployment Solution™ from Symantec User’s Guide 367
Deployment database install
Install the Deployment Database on a local or remote server with or without an existing
Microsoft Data Engine (MSDE) or Microsoft SQL Server. To install the database, you must
have administration rights to the selected server.
See Deployment database on page 337.
Note
If you have multiple instances of the Microsoft SQL Server already set up, you can
identify a specific instance using this format:
<SQL Server Name>\<database
instance>
. The instance of the database can vary. Example: If you have a clustered
Microsoft SQL Server to manage multiple Deployment Solution systems on different
network segments, you can enter the name
salesSegment\express or
marketingSegment\express depending on the previously established database
instance.
Install the Deployment Database using these options:
z Select the Microsoft SQL Server instance where you want to install your Deployment
database.
z You can also change the default SQL Port number.
z You can rename the Deployment Database default name, eXpress, by entering a
different name in the Database Name field. However, this does not alter the
Deployment Share name.
See Deployment Server components on page 335.
PXE server install
Select the options to boot locally using the Altiris Automation Partition. For PXE-
compliant computers, you can boot across the network using the Intel Pre-boot
eXecution Environment option in the PXE Server.
See PXE server on page 338.
Note
If you have a Novell NetWare file server, you must set up the PXE Server after installing
the Deployment Server. The Universal Network Device Interface (UNDI) default driver is
not supported by Novell NetWare.
z Select the No I will be using an Altiris automation partition on each client
computer option, if you do not want to use PXE and prefer to use embedded
(preferred) or hidden partitions, or bootable media to run tasks.
Note
This option is unavailable for installing the PXE Servers using the Component Install
option.
z Select the Yes, I want to install PXE Server on this computer option to install
the PXE Server on the local computer.
Note
This option is selected by default for the Component Install.
