Deploy RSI Images

When CA Server Automation is integrated with an RSI server, you can deploy RSI images to physical computers and virtual machines.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click Resources, right-click the machine to deploy to in the Explore tree, and select Provisioning, Deploy Image.

    The Deploy Image wizard opens.

  2. Select the RSI server, the depot, and the image to deploy.
  3. (Optional) Select to scale the image, set a Profile URL, a driver set to deploy, a host name to use, and add Network Interfaces.
  4. Click OK.

    The wizard submits a request to deploy the image to the target machine.

    Note: Windows deployments only

    After you successfully deploy a Windows image, Windows runs chkdsk. The target system automatically restarts, then Windows runs PnP (plug-and-play) and installs drivers.

    Log in to the target system and Windows prompts you to reboot the system and complete driver installation.
