Installing the Satellite server component

  1. Select one or more devices from the Satellite Servers list using the check boxes in the left column.
  2. Click Install the Satellite Server toolbar button to launch the Satellite Server Deployment Wizard.
  3. Follow the steps in the wizard to deploy the Satellite Server component to the selected devices. The Satellite Server is installed to :

    SystemDrive:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\HPCA

Note: You can also install the Satellite server manually on each device. You might choose to do this, for example, to reduce network traffic.

See the HP Client Automation Enterprise Installation and Upgrade Guide for installation instructions.

If you install the Satellite Server manually, it will appear in the Satellite Servers list. The Satellite server will not serve client devices, until you assign a Location to it to enable client devices to contact the Server.

Services can be preloaded to Satellite Servers using the Synchronize feature. You can also schedule a DTM job using one of the Satellite Servers job action templates. See Delete a Server from Server Pools for details.

After you have created Satellite Servers, you must define Locations and then assign the Satellite Servers to these Locations. See Locations for details.
