Integrating computers into Symantec LiveState Delivery is a multi-step process that can begin before you add computers to the Configuration Server, and ends when you have finally installed the operating system and agent packages.
To integrate a computer into Symantec LiveState Delivery, you perform the following tasks:
Add computer(s) by finding them on the network, or manually adding them to the Configuration Server. If you are adding the computers manually, you must first prepare the computers and gather required information about them.
Define how the computer’s hard disk will be partitioned and formatted.
Define the timing in which the computer is able to perform Symantec LiveState Delivery actions.
On Consistent Mode computers, install the Agent, operating system, and network software.
On Cooperative Mode computers, install the Agent and if necessary, inform the system of the hardware configuration and installed software.
After you have assigned the hardware and package jobs, the Pre-OS Agent continues the integration into Symantec LiveState Delivery. When the integration is complete, the computer restarts, enables the Agent for Windows, and displays the Agent for Windows icon in the status bar.
