Deploying a PSP using Windows PSP deployment scenario 3

Deploying software on multiple-target systems with the Remote Deployment Console Utility follows the same basic procedures outlined in "Scenario 2: Command line deployment on a single-target system using the Remote Deployment Console Utility."

IMPORTANT: If multiple-target server deployment requirements are for very high volumes, refer to "Scenario 4: Command line deployment on multiple-target systems managed by HP Systems Insight Manager." Using the Remote Deployment Console Utility from the command line to deploy to multiple-target servers is recommended only for a few target servers.

To deploy a PSP stored in a centralized, network-based software repository from a command line prompt on multiple-target servers:

  1. Follow steps 1 through 5 in "Scenario 2: Command line deployment on a single-target system using the Remote Deployment Console Utility."
  2. Launch the Remote Deployment Console Utility, using command line parameters to specify each of the target systems. For more information, refer to "Remote Deployment Console Utility for Microsoft Windows."

    IMPORTANT: The target systems must be accessible over the network connection, and the account that is running the Remote Deployment Console Utility must have administrative access to the target system.

    NOTE: Command line help for the Remote Deployment Console Utility is accessible by running the SETUPC.EXE file from the command line. A screen displays all possible parameters that the utility accepts.

  3. Complete the deployment. Refer to step 7 in "Scenario 2: Command line deployment on a single-target system using the Remote Deployment Console Utility," for the remainder of the deployment process and any error messages that might appear.

    TIP: Although each component that is run will write installation information to the installation log file CPQSETUP.LOG on the target system, you can redirect screen output to text files that are local to the administrative system. This capability provides convenient local access to multiple-target server deployment information from one location. Refer to the operating system documentation for more information about output redirection.
