110 Simple XPe ezUpdate example
If an image.dd file is not found, or if the matching version file
•
name is found, then the ezUpdate service accesses the snapins.txt
file located in the directory. For example, continuing the example
above, the service downloads
factory/snapins.txt
The ezUpdate service next compares the snap-in names contained
•
in snapins.txt with names located in the XPe appliance's registry
Uninstall information. If no new or updated snap-ins are found to
be installed, the ezUpdate service exits.
If snap-ins are named in the snapins.txt file that are not found in
•
the registry, then the ezUpdate service installs the snap-in(s).
When the ezUpdate service determines that the image and snap-
•
ins are up-to-date, the service turns itself off to conserve
resources.
The ezUpdate service can be restarted manually in the XPe thin cli-
ent appliance (in the ezUpdate control panel applet) or the unit can
be rebooted.
The following example assumes that XPe thin client appliances will
be managed by the ezUpdate server on a single subnet. All of the
XPe appliances are 192 MB Eon Professional thin client appliances.
In this example, DHCP will not be used. The FTP server has an IP
address of 10.10.80.10 and has a Windows share named c_drive.
