Important Note: Target Device hotfixes can be deployed only on the Master Target Device. You can install Target Device hotfix on a device that has not been imaged to a vDisk as a fresh installation, or on a device that has been imaged to a vDisk as an upgrade installation.
For fresh installations, see eDocs, the Citrix product documentation library.
For upgrade installation, complete the following steps:
Uninstalling Provisioning Services from the Original Hard Drive on Master Target Device
- Start from the vDisk in Private or Shared Image Mode.
- Right-click My Computer, and select Manage. The Computer Management window appears.
- Under Storage, click Disk Management.
- Get the drive letter of the local hard disk (Disk 0) from where the vDisk was created. Ensure the partition is Active.
- Run the Image Builder utility on the target device. The utility is located at Program FilesCitrixProvisioning ServicesBNImage.exe
- Under Destination Drive, specify the drive letter of the local hard disk from Step 4.
- Click Build to start vDisk image cloning to the local hard disk on the Master Target Device, then restart.
- Configure the Master Target Device to start from local hard drive.
- On the Master Target Device, uninstall Provisioning Services from ARP.
Uninstalling Provisioning Services from a Newly created Hard Drive on a Master Target Device
- Start from the vDisk in Private or Shared Image Mode.
- Right click My Computer and select Manage. The Computer Management window appears.
- Under Storage, click Disk Management.
- Create a new primary partition as the first partition, assign a drive letter, format, and mark it as Active.
- Delete the boot.ini file from the root of the vDisk.
- Run the Image Builder utility on the target device. The utility is located at Program FilesCitrixProvisioning ServicesBNImage.exe
- Under Destination Drive, specify the drive letter of the local hard disk from Step 4.
- Click Build to start vDisk image cloning to the local hard disk on the Master Target Device, then restart.
- Configure the Master Target Device to start from local hard drive.
- On the Master Target Device, uninstall Provisioning Services from ARP.
Installing a Target Device Hotfix and Imaging New vDisk
- From the Provisioning Services Console, delete the Master Target Device.
- On the Master Target Device, run the Provisioning Services Device installer included in the hotfix.
- Run the Provisioning Services Imaging Wizard to create new vDisk.
- After the image is created but before restarting the device, check the Device properties on the Console to ensure the device is set to start from Hard Disk.
- Restart the device and configure it to start from local hard drive then perform a PXE boot of the device. This will cause the system to automatically start running Citrix Converter to finalize VDisk imaging.
- On the Console, modify the Device properties to force the device to start from vDisk.
- Restart the Master Target Device and ensure that the new vDisk is running without issue.
- On the Console, associate the new vDisk with other Target Devices if necessary.
