Scalability servers contain a permanent Software Package Library (called Staging Library). To add library items from a domain manager to a downstream scalability server, you can select a library item or software group, and copy and paste or drag and drop it onto the scalability server. If you are connected to an enterprise manager, you can schedule a distribution that delivers library items to the library of a scalability server that is downstream of the domain manager to which the distribution is sent. Again, copy-and-paste or drag-and-drop can be used.
The Staging Wizard is an enhanced easy-to-use method of delivering software to scalability servers; for example, it enables you to select software from more than one software group. The wizard can be launched in context of library items, scalability servers and software jobs; for example, right-click a scalability server and select Software Job, Stage Software Packages to launch the wizard. On the enterprise manager you can also select domains to where the library items are first distributed before they are relayed to the selected scalability server groups.
Programs can also be registered and unregistered in the Staging Library from the command line. Using the command sd_sscmd aregsw, you can add software to a Staging Library that is not included in the domain manager's Software Package Library folder. This software will not become visible in the Staging Library of the domain manager's DSM Explorer even if the procedure Synchronize Software Staging Library is started.
Before using the permanent Staging Libraries, you must do the following:
To track the contents of the Staging Library, there is a file, library.dct, in the LIBRARY folder, in which each registered item is entered.
