IBM IntelliStation M Pro Types 6220 and 6230: User's Guide
Remote Deployment Manager (RDM) is a graphical, server-based system
deployment program that enables mass unattended installations of
operating systems, software images, device drivers, and BIOS code
updates to remote systems. When used with the Wake on LAN feature,
Remote Deployment Manager can remotely turn on your computer so that
the installation can be done while the computer is not being used.
System administrators can use System Migration Assistant (SMA) to
remotely transfer configurations, profile settings, printer device drivers, and
files from an IBM or non-IBM computer to supported IBM systems.
You can use Software Delivery Assistant to create an image of a single set
of applications that can be deployed to different user groups while taking
into account the users' application needs.
