HP Intelligent Management Center v5.2 Branch Intelligent Management System Administrator Guide

Automatically deploying CPE software
The Auto Deploy Software function enables you to create an automatic CPE software deployment
task, which deploys the specified software to the CPE accessing BIMS for the first time. You can
create a task by CPE or CPE class.
• If you create an automatic deployment task by CPE, you can only select virtual CPEs.
The virtual CPE must meet the following two conditions:
◦ The CPE record, including a CPE name, OUI, and serial ID, must be added or imported
to the CPE list.
◦ The CPE is not authenticated by BIMS.
For more information, see “Adding a CPE.”
• If you create an automatic deployment task by CPE class, the automatic task can be applied
for deploying all virtual CPEs of the specified classes.
If the function for automatically adding CPEs is enabled—allowing BIMS to authenticate a
CPE whose information is not recorded in the CPE List—when you create an automatic
deployment task by class, BIMS also automatically deploys the CPEs that is not added to the
CPE List. For more information, see “Example 2: Deploying CPEs in branch offices” and
“Managing system settings.”
NOTE: You can only create one automatic software deployment task for deploying software to
a CPE.
