Novell ZENWORKS LINUX MANAGEMENT 7.3 IR2 - ADMINISTRATION GUIDE 02-12-2010 Administration Manual page 433

The advantage file sets provide is that you can create a base image and modify it slightly for
various devices, instead of creating separate, somewhat different base images for each device.
However, because file sets only concern excluded files, if you add files to the base image using
Image Explorer, all file sets will include those additional files. If you don't want them included
in a file set, you must use Image Explorer to exclude these new files from that file set.
There are a maximum of 10 file sets. Each of the ten file set numbers represents the original
base image, until you use Image Explorer and assign the results to a file set number.
IMPORTANT: If you create 10 different file sets, then the original image can be lost. If you
want to maintain the original image's information, do not use Image Explorer to assign
exclusions to file set 1, which is the default file set if you do not select a file set when using this
wizard.
8 Fill in the fields:
There are two triggers that you can use to determine when to start the ZENworks Multicast
session. The first trigger to be realized starts the session.
A session consists of all clients (devices) that are assigned to the ZENworks Multicast bundle
that are booting (joining), but must wait for a start trigger. Therefore, the boot processes for the
devices can be held up until one of the triggers is realized, even for as long as you specify in an
elapsed time or number of clients entry.
After a session has started, if other devices boot that are assigned to this bundle, they do not
become part of this session, but become part of the next session when it triggers.
Start the session as soon as: You have two choices:
____ clients have joined
This trigger, if met first, limits the session to the number of clients that you specify. The
default is 1.
____ minutes have elapsed since a new client has joined
This trigger, if met first, causes the session to start, regardless of the number of clients that
have joined, except that at least one client must have joined (otherwise there is no device
to multicast to).
A "new client" means that it is the first device to boot that starts this round of waiting for
a trigger to be realized. The default is 5.
These triggers are useful if you want economy of scale in multiple clients joining, but don't
want to stall the session too long from starting.
