After you create a server location in the Avalanche Console, you need to deploy the server. A deployment package is a collection of files that define Server behavior for both Infrastructure and Mobile Device Servers. You must create these packages and then deploy them in order to control your server locations.
Note: If the destination computer is using Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, use the local device server installer instead of a deployment. For more information on the local device server installer, see Installing a Device Server.
You can build deployment packages for the following:
| • | Combined Infrastructure and Mobile Device Servers. When you create a combined deployment package, Avalanche deploys both an Infrastructure Server and a Mobile Device Server to a server location that may or may not have Servers already. |
| • | Infrastructure Server. When you create a deployment package for an Infrastructure Server, Avalanche deploys an Infrastructure Server to a server location that may or may not yet have a server. |
Note: When you create an Infrastructure Server package, you have the option to use No Security, Security without encryption, or Security with encryption. When security is enabled, the Infrastructure Server will use secure methods to communicate with the Infrastructure Site Console.
| • | Lightweight Infrastructure Server Update. This package updates an existing Infrastructure Server to the latest version without changing settings or deploying any firmware files. The resulting deployment package will be much smaller in size because this package only replaces the core executables. |
| • | Mobile Device Server. When you create a deployment package for a Mobile Device Server, Avalanche deploys a Mobile Device Server to a server location that may or may not yet have a server. |
| • | Linux Agent RPMs. This package allows you to select Linux RPMs to deploy to your locations. |
To create a deployment package:
| 1 | Click Tools > Deployment Packages. |
The Deployment Package Manager appears.
| 2 | Click Add to open the New Package Wizard. |
| 3 | Select Create a Device Server Package and click Next. |
| 4 | Follow the prompts to build the package you need. |
| 5 | When your package is built, click Finish to return to the Deployment Package Manager. |
| 6 | Continue building packages or click Close. |
The packages you build will now appear in the Task Scheduler and are ready to be deployed to your locations. For information on deploying a server deployment package, see Deploying Servers.
