IBM Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment, Version 7.1.1.14

Upgrading WinPE deployment engines and hardware environments

When upgrading to Fix Pack 12, you must upgrade the WinPE deployment engines and the WinPE 2.x or 3.x hardware environments.

About this task

If old WinPE (deployment engines and hardware environments) engines are detected, a warning message and an icon is displayed in the web interface near each object.

If the Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) is installed on the same workstation where the OS deployment server is installed, when the OS deployment server starts up, all WinPE deployment engines (not hardware environments, only deployment engines) are automatically upgraded.

A wizard and a command line with rbagent are available to update the WinPE engines (deployment engines and hardware environments).

The following command line with rbagent is available to update the WinPE engines:

rad-makewpe update=EngineItemID
rad-mkhwutils update=SoftItemID

For the EngineItemID, see the EngineItem table. For the SoftItemID, see the SoftwareItem table.
