Creating Satellite Synchronization Jobs

Satellite Servers are used to allow for data caching and the distribution of configuration settings to managed devices. Satellites must be synchronized with the Core server to make the latest data available to those devices. You can perform a synchronization from the Satellite Console, or this synchronization task can be scheduled by creating a job in the HPCA Console.

Note: Before you can synchronize data on a Satellite Server, you must have initially configured your Satellites. See the HP Client Automation Enterprise Installation and Upgrade Guide for details.

Note: Before you can successfully run a Satellite Synchronization job on a client device, the HPCA Agent on that client must have performed a prior connect operation with COP=Y to the HPCA Core server.

To create a Satellite Synchronization job:

  1. In the Management tab, Directories area, navigate to the object that contains the Satellite device.
  2. Select the Satellite device and launch the HPCA Job Creation Wizard by clicking the tool bar icon.

    Note: If you select a device that is not a Satellite server, the job will fail.

  3. To synchronize a satellite immediately, select Notify from the Job Type drop-down box. To synchronize on a schedule, select DTM.

    If you select DTM, this Satellite Synchronization job will be downloaded to the Satellite only after the agent on the Satellite device has performed a Refresh DTM Schedule.

  4. Type a name and description for the synchronization job.
  5. Select the Job Action Template for the synchronization type you would like to schedule:
  6. Click Next.
  7. Type the schedule settings (see Schedules), and click Submit.

    The job is added and the Satellite server will synchronize data or configuration settings based on the settings you defined.

    To view the status of the job, click the Jobs area of the Management tab.
