10ZiG Manager

  1. Where can I download the latest 10Zig Manager?


  2. Where can I download the quick start guide for the older version of the manager?


  3. I am using the older manager and when I try to retrieve the configuration from a thin client the program crashes with a term.exe error.


  4. How do I update the firmware on a Linux thin client using the 10ZiG Manager?


  5. When the unit is completing the PXE boot process and loading the Linux environment I see the following lines on-screen near the end of the boot process;
  6. Eth0 [ followed by Ethernet info]

    starting sshd

    starting httpd

    starting crond

    [E17.654459] FAT: Bogus number of reserved sectors

    (Note the 6 digit number changes on various reboots)

    starting samba

    (couple of lines for for discovery and runlevel0

    Is this a problem or a sign of something gone wrong?



  7. Why don't my Linux or CE thin clients PXE boot after I set them to PXE in the 10ZiG Manager?


  8. Where can I download the older version 2.0.40 of the BOSmanager?


  9. Can I PXE boot to the 10ZiG Manager using the wireless connection? 


  10. What ports are used by the 10ZiG Manager?


  11. What is the difference between the Clone System Image - Deploy System Image and Backup and Restore?


  12. The image will not push out and fails - what might be the problem?

Make certain you do not have a 5250 session name with an underscore in it.

  How do I update the firmware on a Linux thin client using the 10ZiG Manager? 

Make certain the Image Store path is set in the 10ZiG Manager setup

 

Copy the image file (.tar) to the image store folder

If the thin client is on the network the 10ZiG Manager service is running it will display in the 10ZiG Manager console.

Right click on the thin client to be updated and select Firmware update.

Confirm the update

Select the .tar file (image file) from the Image Store

A message will be displayed indicating the thin client will be updated and rebooted

At this time, no other message will indicate the status of the upgrade but the upgrade process will be displayed on the thin client itself. Once updated the thin client will reboot and be available again via the 10ZiG Manager Console.

The message that appears “FAT: Bogus number of reserved sectors“ should not cause concern as it just reflects the how Linux sees the FAT partition that we create with Windows when we build our master images.

The error does not affect backup or restoration.

 Why don't my Linux or CE thin clients PXE boot after I set them to PXE in the 10ZiG Manager? 

Do to BIOS limitations, each of the Linux and CE thin clients must be set to PXE boot in the BIOS.

  Can I PXE boot to the 10ZiG Manager using the wireless connection?  

No, PXE is part of BIOS and the BIOS only knows about the built in NIC.

 What ports are used by the 10ZiG Manager? 

For XP:

52500 UDP - Manager broadcasts discovery

52510 TCP - Manager remote system calls to agent

52511 TCP - Agent remote notify calls to manager

For Linux & CE:

1680 UDP/TCP - Most manager and client control communications

8001 TCP - HTTP port for firmware updates

 What is the difference between the Clone System Image - Deploy System Image and Backup and Restore? 

Clone System Image and Deploy System Image immediately take the option to do one or the other, completing the process immediately as a compressed file. The Backup and Restore option sets the PXE boot to yes, reboots the thin client and moves it to the Image Recovery Tab where you can manually take the option for the type of backup or restore required

 The image will not push out and fails - what might be the problem?  

Make certain that use simple file sharing (Recommended) is unchecked in folder options - NOTE: The wording may be different in other versions of Microsoft Windows.
