Acronis acronis snap deploy 3 Manual

 

 

 

 

A deployment template is a set of configuration parameters of the deployment operation. This 
includes: 

 

1.  A path to the master image 

2.  The operation mode (multicast or unicast, how to handle the target disk free space etc.) 

3.  Settings to be applied to the deployed systems (DNS names, user accounts etc.) 
4.  Operations to be performed on the deployed systems (transfer files, execute applications, shut 

down, restart.) 

 

 
Deployment templates can be saved on the Acronis OS Deploy Server. Once you save a deployment 

template, you can use it in the future. When setting up a manual, scheduled or event-driven 

deployment, simply select a template and set up the condition for starting deployment. Otherwise, you 

will have to configure the above parameters while setting up the deployment operation.  

 

Templates also enable the custom deployment mode. In this mode users can perform one-click 
deployment on their computers without the administrator’s assistance. To set up this mode, the 

administrator must create the standard deployment templates in advance. 

 

The saved templates are listed in the Templates tab. A template can be viewed, edited or deleted 

from the Acronis OS Deploy Server. 

 

 

1.  Connect the console to the Acronis OS Deploy Server. 

 

2.  Select the Templates tab.  

 

3.  Click Create Template on the sidebar. 

 

Further sections of this chapter tell you how to use the Create Deployment Template Wizard. 

 

 

Specify: 

-  The master image. 

-  The user name and password for the network shared folder if the image is on the network. The 

best practice is to map the shared folder as a local drive (Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Map 

Network Drive.) 

Acronis OS Deploy Server can deploy images located:  

-  in network shared folders 

-  on the deploy server internal hard drive 

-  on USB and FireWire (IEEE-1394) storage devices (hard drives, flash drives) attached to the 

deploy server
