7. <strong>opsi</strong>-server with multiple depots<br />

The functions described in this chapter are complex and you will get only support on<br />

this topic via a professional support contract.<br />

7.2. Concept<br />

Supporting multiple depotshares in <strong>opsi</strong> aims at the following targets:<br />

● central configuration data storage and configuration management<br />

● providing the software depots on decentral servers<br />

● automated deployment of software packages from the central server to the local<br />

depots<br />

Accordingly, it is implemented:<br />

● All configuration data is stored on the central <strong>opsi</strong>-config-server<br />

● All clients connect to this config-server in order to request their configuration data. The<br />

configuration data comprise the information on method and target of the depot-server<br />

connection.<br />

● All installable software is stored on depot-servers.<br />

● The depot-servers have as well an <strong>opsi</strong>pxeconfd running by which they provide<br />

bootimages to clients via PXE/tftp.<br />
