Batch Configuration

On a network supporting EasyDeploy shown in Figure 1, all the clients require the same configurations. This section describes the batch configuration procedure.

Figure 1 Networking for batch configuration

1. The network administrator makes a command line script locally and uploads the script to the Command, or edits a command line script on the Commander directly.
2. The network administrator specifies on the Commander the clients or groups to which commands need to be issued and executes the command line script.
3. After the clients receive the commands from the Commander, they execute the commands and saves the command execution results.
4. The network administrator can check the command execution results on the Commander.

Figure 2 shows the interaction between the Commander and a client after the administrator executes the command line script.

Figure 2 Interaction between the Commander and a client

1. The Commander sends a command issuing notification to the client.
2. After the client receives the notification, it sends a request to the Commander to obtain command lines.
3. After the Commander receives the request, it sends the commands to the client.
4. The client executes the commands and saves the command execution results.
5. The Commander sends a request to the client to query the command execution results.
6. The client responds with the command execution results.
