Before installing an operating system, you can capture
system settings from a compatible server to a file and deploy them
to your new server by using the sample jobs provided by theLinux Scripting Toolkit and the Advanced Settings Utility.
The Toolkit provides sample
jobs to capture and deploy settings using ASU. These jobs are located in
the folder.
- Capture system settings
- The Capture System Settings sample job
captures the system settings of the server and stores them in a file
named ASU_Capture. By default all captured system
settings are stored in sgdeploy/sgtklinux/ini/asu/PlatformID
where PlatformID is the machine type of the captured
system.
- Deploy system settings
- The Deploy System Settings sample job deploys
the system settings from the ASU_Capture.ini file
located in the specified directory.
You can customize the following variables for these jobs from the
Altiris Console. The values shown are the defaults.
- TK_ASU_File=sgdeploy/sgtklinux/ini/asu/\${BIOS_Build_Level:0:2}/asu_capture
- TK_ASU_Mode=save
