Through System Enablement Packs (SEPs),
you can add support for hardware released after the current release
of the ServerGuide Scripting Toolkit, Linux Edition for Altiris Deployment Solution. This section
describes the process for adding SEPs to the Altiris Deployment Server.
Before you begin
If the
Altiris Deployment Server is
connected to the Internet and can access the
IBM website, use the
acquire_seps.cmd command
to acquire
SEPs as
described here. If the
Altiris Deployment Server does
not have Internet connectivity, see
Adding a new supported system using SEPs without Internet connectivity for information about
using a system other than the
Altiris Deployment Server to acquire
SEPs.
Procedure
- Edit the file acquire_seps.ini and
modify the default settings for acquiring SEPs as necessary. The default location of this file is C:\Program Files\Altiris\eXpress\Deployment
Server\sgdeploy\sgtklinux\altiris\acquire_seps.ini. The
following table describes the values you can modify.
| Value |
Description |
|---|
| TK_SEP_OS |
A comma-separated list of operating systems
for which you can download SEPs. Valid values are: none,
all. The default value is none.
|
| TK_SEP_Arch |
A comma-separated list of processor architectures
for which you can download SEPs. Valid values are: x86,
x64, all. |
| TK_SEP_PKG_TGT |
The target directory on the local system for
storing SEPs. |
| TK_SEPTOOL_OptionalParams |
Additional parameters to be used when downloading SEPs. |
- Open a command window and change to the directory containing
the acquire_seps.cmd file. By default,
this file is located at C:\Program Files\Altiris\eXpress\Deployment
Server\sgdeploy\sgtklinux\altiris\acquire_seps.cmd.
- Enter the acquire_seps.cmd command,
followed by a comma-delimited list of machine types, for
example, acquire_seps.cmd 7979,4199. You
can also acquire SEPs for all available machine types by specifying all instead
of a machine type, for example: acquire_seps.cmd all.
