Re-install After Crash

Software delivery can restore the state of computers by automatically invoking the Re-install After Crash (RAC) feature. This happens when a new OS installation is reported by the software delivery agent. All software that was present earlier will be re-installed and configured according to the computer's job history stored in the database. During the RAC the computer is locked and no other jobs are allowed to be initiated.

The following options are available for RAC:

Automatic - Create RAC Job Container and start the delivery

This option allows you to fully automate RAC. A RAC Job Container is created and delivered when a new OS installation is reported.

Deferred - Create RAC Job Container and wait for confirmation (default option)

This option allows you to review and modify the created RAC Job Container. The RAC Job Container has to be activated manually.

Disabled - Do not automate RAC

This option disables RAC automation. The computer's installations will be marked as removed when a new OS installation is reported.

The above setting reflects the common policy for all targets on this domain manager. You may override this policy for individual targets in the target's properties dialog.

Software versions that are no longer used but still registered can be excluded from RAC by checking the 'Exclude from RAC' option on the installation procedure!
