How to export & import images between KACE2000 <> Remote Site Appliance

This article describes the necessary steps to move System Images from the Remote Site Appliance to the KACE 2000 server. When the System Image is stored on the K2000 server it’s possible to create a bootable USB flash drive containing the image.

The image I wish to export is a captures K-image file currently stored on the RSA.

export_rsa_1

As you can see it’s not possible to create the Flash drive:

export_rsa_3

There is no option to create a flash drive, like this example below:

export_rsa_2

Alright, let’s start exporting the image. First step browse to the IP address of the RSA. Use the SAMBA account to browse the shares :

export_rsa_4

In this example the RSA uses the IP address 10.70.28.2. Notice the restore folder. The restore is empty before the export:

export_rsa_5

No files and folders currently present in the restore folder, check šŸ™‚

Now go to settings/Package Management/Export SDA Packages :

export_rsa_6

Select the specific image you wish to export and choose “Export Selected”:

export_rsa_7

Notice that KACE starts exporting the file:

export_rsa_8

After some time the export job is completed. Notice the green version mark (you currently have the latest version exported)

export_rsa_9

Notice the exported image in the restore folder :

export_rsa_10

Copy both files to the restore folder of the KACE 2000 folder. Now choose Import SDA Packages on the K2000 server (web interface):

export_rsa_11

Now select the specific image and choose “Import Selected”

export_rsa_12

After the import job succesfully ends you now have the specific image on your K2000 server. Notice the create flash drive option:

export_rsa_13
