Manage Masters

One Master is a complete system image, created from a configured position. It serves as a model for the rapid and homogeneous deployment of an environment on other machines.

Before deployment, it is essential to know the available Masters and how to use them.

Reading displayed information

Each master is presented as a line with several elements:

• Wording : automatic image ID.

• Description : optional text describing the content or purpose of the image.

• Date of establishment : indicates when the image was generated.

• Compressed size : image file size (expressed in Go).

• Default Start Menu : specifies whether the image is used automatically during network startup.

• Actions : set of options available on the image.

Use a master for deployment

• Choose a Master in the list.

• Check his date, its description and size to make sure it matches what you want to deploy.

• Select image as the basis for the deployment of one or more stations via the dedicated interface.

The master system will automatically be installed on the target stations without manual intervention on each machine.

Actions available for each image

For each master, you can perform several operations:

• Add to the default start menu

  Allows you to define the image as the one used automatically when starting a station network (useful if you make frequent deployments).

• Create a bootable ISO
  Generates an ISO file from the image, which you can then copy to a USB drive or CD to start an off-grid station.

• Edit Image
  Edit image related information, such as description or name.

• Clone Master
  Creates a copy of the current image. This allows you to make a new version without changing the original.

• Remove
  Permanently removes the image from the server. This action is irreversible.
