How To Create A New Template In Hp Device Manager

Automate the initial Thin Customer configuration process and optionally deploy the Thin Customer Management Panel

During the initial configuration of a new deployment, subsequently the appliance setup, nosotros need to configure the Thin Clients to connect to this new infrastructure deployed to access the desktops, applications and resources bachelor to the users in the metioned appliance.

By executing a sequence of quick actions, yous will be able to reach the following goals automatically:

Successful deployment of the HP Device Manager in your server
Thanks to this susccessful deployment, the Thin Clients, once connected to the network, will be automatically configured to connect to the appliance resource as follows:
1. Discovery is configured to signal any Thin Client to the HPDM server nosotros have installed
2. A standard HP Easy Shell configuration is downloaded from the Flexxible IT repositories to convert the Sparse Client into a secure kiosk
3. The downloaded standard configuration is modified to match the installed surroundings
4. A rule is configured to update the ThinOS to the latest version
5. Discovered Thin Clients are configured to create a directly receiver connection to the SMB StoreFront

You will have the option to deploy a virtual machine where yous can launch the HP Device Director panel to perform additional operations on the Thin Clients (note -> This step is optional every bit you tin besides install the console on other devices such as VDI, computers, etc).

Deploying HP Device Manager server

To deploy HP Device Manager server after the appliance deployment you will demand to become to the control console. Remember that the default IP is 192.168.50.fifty but during the deployment process you may have changed it:

Enter the password to login

Get to the fourth tab, chosen "Quick Actions" and select the Quick Action chosen "HP Device Manager"

In this session, you will have to specify the IP that will be assigned to this new server and insert the DHCP values. To activate the machine-configuration of the Thin Clients at the moment they connect to the network, it will be necessary to modify the values provided by the DHCP to the Thin Clients during the time the DHCP server assign the IP to the Thin Clients.

If y'all do not take a Windows DHCP server and have not chosen to create information technology automatically in the process of deploying the appliance, you must enter the post-obit data:

Device managing director IP. This is the IP for the HP Device Manager server.
Windows DHCP server IP. This is the IP for the new DHCP server.
In the "Create new DHCP" Session, enter the following info:
1. Start IP. This is the DHCP starting IP
2. End IP. This is the DHCP ending IP
3. CIDRof the assigned VLAN
4. DHCP Gateway
5. Chief and secondary DNSservers.

If you have a Windows DHCP server or accept called to create it automatically in the process of deploying the appliance yous must enter the post-obit data:

Device manager IP, which is the IP for the HP Device Manager server.
DHCP server IP, which is the IP for the new Windows DHCP server.
In the "DHCP already exists" session, enter the folloing information:
1. DHCP user, which is the user to log in to the DHCP server
2. DHCP password, which is the password to log in to the DHCP server

Click on "Run" to outset the process

During the procedure you will run across how Quick Action itself will show you all the steps it went through. Also, you lot will exist able to see the progress bar at the bottom.

Wait until the process is finished.

From this moment forwards, every time y'all connect a Sparse Client to the network, it will be automatically configured to connect to the appliance and work with its resources.

It is possible, that in addition to the automatic configuration, you want to use the HP Device Managing director console to perform additional actions such every bit monitoring the Sparse Clients, practise firmware updates, etc.,

If that is the case, yous have several options:

Download and install HP Device Manager Panel on your current computer

Go to the HP Device Manager Console download page, download the application and install it on your computer.

Retrieve the IP you have assigned to the HP Device Managing director Server you accept deployed before as you will need it to connect the client panel.

Create a virtual server using the installed console

Become to control panel-> Quick Actions and select the quick action chosen "HP DM Panel"

To deploy this server you will be asked for the following information:

Device manager server IP, which is the HP Device Managing director Server IP that we deployed in the previous step
Panel machine IP, which is the IP of the virtual machine that we are going to deploy now where we volition have the client panel

When the process is finished, yous volition take a virtual car available with the console installed to manage the Thin Clients. Think that this car does not have a Citrix VDA, so to admission it, you must practice it by using remote desktop.

In the next version, this process will not be necessary as HP Thin Cliens Management will exist included in the Flexible|VDI Os Director spider web console.

Enjoy managing a complex environment the easy way with HP and Flexxible IT!!!
