Rapid Server Imaging (RSI) provides cross-platform and heterogeneous hardware provisioning, physical and virtual server migration, disaster recovery, and image capture and deployment. Images can be deployed across dissimilar hardware with multiple operating environments provided the hardware belongs to the same processor family.
You can capture images from a managed server and deploy the captured images to a different managed server or to a bare metal system. You can capture and deploy images between physical-to-physical, physical-to-virtual, virtual-to-physical, and virtual-to-virtual systems. Except in cases of bare metal provisioning, the CA Server Automation managed servers must run the RSI agent.
For documentation on how to install and configure an RSI server, see DVD3 of the product media.
