Introduction

This paper provides IT professionals with an overview of recently-released Altiris Manageability scripts.

Using the HP Linux thin client Altiris manageability scripts

All HP Compaq Linux thin clients ship with the Altiris manageability agent in the Linux image. This agent

allows for asset detection, as well as provides the ability to capture and deploy HP Compaq Linux thin cli-

ent images. In addition, HP has made available a softpaq that allows you to perform the following func-

tions using the Altiris Deployment Console:

•Capture system settings and defined HP Connection Administrator connections from a source HP

Compaq Linux thin client system.

•Deploy system settings and defined HP Connection Administrator connections to a target HP Compaq

Linux thin client system.

•Capture BIOS settings from a source HP Compaq Linux thin client system.

•Deploy BIOS settings to a target HP Compaq Linux thin client system.

•Configure the boot order of a target HP Compaq Linux thin client system.

HP Linux thin client system requirements and softpaq limitations

The softpaq requires HP Compaq Linux thin client image version - LxST3138 version (t5125 and t5525) or

newer. To determine image version, open the “system” applet located in the “settings” panel.

You can only deploy BIOS settings on similar hardware from which the settings were captured (similar

hardware/software image/configuration). You can only deploy captured system and connection settings

on similar hardware from which the settings were captured (similar hardware/software image/configura-

tion).

NOTE: Future enhancements to manageability scripts may require that you upgrade to the next version of

the image to take advantage of additional manageability features.

Obtaining and installing the softpaq

To obtain the softpaq, visit www.hp.com and navigate to the product support page for the specific prod-

uct. Search and download the softpaq titled, “Altiris manageability scripts for HP Compaq Linux thin cli-

ents.”

To install the softpaq:

1. Unbundle the softpaq on a system that contains Altiris. The softpaq attempts to install its contents in

directories known to the Altiris deployment console.

2. After installation, import the HP_TC_Linux_Configuration.bin file using the Altiris deployment

console where the following scripts will become available for use.

Softpaq contents

When unbundled, the softpaq unpacks the following directories and files to the hard drive, which are

installed to the Altiris “express” directory.

•HP Sample Altiris jobs (directory)

•HPTCLinuxConfiguration.bin

•Linux (directory)

•HPCS(subdirectory)

- smbput.sh

- snapshot

- snapshot.conf.base

- tar

• Scripts (directory)

- HP_TC_Linux_bootorder.sh

- HP_TC_Linux_Capture_BIOSSettings.sh

- HP_TC_Linux_CaptureSettings.sh

- HP_TC_Linux_DeployBIOSSettings.sh

- HP_TC_Linux_DeploySettings.sh

HP sample Altiris jobs

The following list provides a sample of Altiris jobs that become available after softpaq installation:

•HP TC Capture BIOS Settings - Captures BIOS settings from source HP Compaq Linux thin client

to the Altiris server for storage. You must modify this job before first use to input the Altiris server IP

address, Altiris user name, and Altiris user password (see Figure 2).

•HP TC Capture Settings - Captures the client system settings and defined HP Connection Adminis-

trator connection settings from source HP Compaq Linux thin client to the Altiris server for storage. You

must modify this job before first use to input the Altiris server IP address, Altiris user name, and Altiris

user password (see Figure 3).

•HP TC Deploy BIOS Settings - Deploys BIOS settings to target HP Compaq Linux thin client previ-

ously captured from the Altiris console.

•HP TC Deploy Settings - Deploys system and HP Connection Administrator connection settings to

target HP Compaq Linux thin client previously captured from the Altiris console.

•HP TC Linux Bootorder - Sets the desired boot order on the Linux thin client. Choices include boot

from flash, boot from network, or boot from USB device in any order. You must modify this job before

use to input the desired boot order (see Figure 4).

The following is a sample screen shot of the “HP TC Capture BIOS Settings” job file (user modifiable).

Note that you must complete the DESTINATION, USERNAME and PASSWORD fields before use.

The following is a sample screen shot of the “HP TC Capture Settings” job file (user modifiable). Note that

you must complete the DESTINATION, USERNAME and PASSWORD fields before use.

Figure 3 HP TC Capture Settings file

The following is a sample screen shot of the “HP TC Linux Bootorder” job file (user modifiable). Note the

last three characters of the file control the boot order (u=USB, h=hard/flash drive, n=network).

ronment using the Altiris Deployment console. In general, the following information is captured and

deployed using the HP TC Capture Settings and HP TC Deploy Settings scripts:
