Create Deployment Media

You can use the Create CD Deployment Media tool to download images that can then be burned to a DVD for operating system deployment.

The OS Library lists all operating systems that have been published to HPCA.

To download an operating system image for DVD deployment:

  1. On the Operations tab, go to OS Management > OS Library.
  2. Select an operating system from the OS Library.
  3. Click the Create CD Deployment Media button to launch the CD Deployment Wizard.
  4. Review the summary information, and click Download. The OS image begins to download in the background.
  5. Click Close.

View the download progress in the OS Library. Click the Refresh button to see the current status in the CD Creation Status column.

When the download is complete, the OS image is stored, by default, in:

<InstallDir>\Data\ServiceDecks\CDDeployment

If this directory is empty, the CD Creation Status column is blank for all operating systems listed.

Note: This feature is intended for use with DVDs, typically to store multiple images. Do not span your resources over multiple CD-ROMs or DVD-ROMs.

Caution: Your DVD-ROM must be in Joliet format.
