Customize the RSI Server Package

The RSI Server package supplied in the installation media must be customized for your RSI deployment environment.

The configuration file specifies the following environment parameters:

• Network settings for the RSI Server
• Networks that the RSI Server can access
• Supported operating systems for imaging target servers
• The location of the image storage depot

Follow these steps:

1. In CA ITCM, open the DSM Explorer Tree and navigate to Software, Software Package Library, All Software.

   Right-click the Racemi DynaCenter MWS package and select Unseal.

2. Expand Racemi DynaCenter MWS, Source in the left pane and click Package.

   The right pane displays the folder structure of the package.

3. Edit the config.ini file.

   Uncomment all lines beginning with #, and enter parameter values as appropriate for your environment.

   For example, the parameters in the following configuration file define:

   • A single RSI Server using the loop back address 127.0.0.1
   • Support for imaging target servers running all supported operating systems (Windows and Red Hat Linux are provided by default)
   • Access to target servers using network addresses 10.130.64.0-255
   • Primary network interface eth0 accessible at 10.130.64.162
   • Storage depot accessible at 10.130.64.162 with the following storage paths:
     • Default storage at path /repo/R for components [default]
     • Path /repo/I for agent images and image metadata [instance]
     • Path /repo/images for captured images [image]

       [general]
       oem_configuration = True
       agent_addressing = dhcp
       os_support = Solaris-sun4u, Solaris-i86pc
       mws_address = 127.0.0.1
       database_address = 127.0.0.1
       [client_networks]
       [[10.130.64.0/24]]
       gateway = 10.130.64.1
       addresses = 10.130.64.0-10.130.64.255
       mws_interface = eth0
       mws_ip = 10.130.64.162
       [storage]
       [[default]]
       path = /repo/R
       server_address = 10.130.64.162
       type = component
       [[instance]]
       path = /repo/I
       server_address = 10.130.64.162
       type = image_metadata
       [[image]]
       path = /repo/images
       server_address = 10.130.64.162
       type = captured_image
       

   Note: For config.ini file parameter details, see "Silent Installation" in the RSI Server Installation Guide on DVD3 of the CA Server Automation installation media.

4. In the left pane, right-click Racemi DynaCenter MWS, select seal, and click OK.

   The RSI server package is ready for deployment.
