This command initiates execution of the Offline RAC process wherein any software that was deployed to the agent is restored.
Note: Typically this command is not called manually as the VDICompose.dms integration scripts invoke it. However, if the Offline RAC process is used for a purpose other than VMware View integration, you may need to invoke it using other mechanisms.
Syntax
ReinstallTarget [abort]
(Optional) Cancels any pending reinstall target request.
Example:
sd_acmd ReinstallTarget
This example performs offline reinstallation and calls the agent, which opens the instance software state database and reruns every procedure in chronological order using the current software library of the agent. The job status is reported to the domain manager and displayed in the Software Delivery Job Check dialog, similar to any standard software delivery job. In addition, the agent opens the template software state database and for each entry and creates install/activate/configure records (same as generated by sd_acmd AddXXXRecord). At the end of the reinstallation process all generated records are sent up to the domain manager using the scalability server.
Note: This mechanism relies on the agent getting a new Host UUID each time it gets recomposed or refreshed. This triggers the deletion of the existing software records in the MDB for the computer (only to be replaced by new ones as soon as the Offline RAC is completed).
