How to configure driver repository?

The pre-requisites for creating and deploying an image using OS Deployer involves creating two repositories: an image repository and a driver repository. The drivers collected using automatic and manual collection are stored in the driver repositories.

OS Deployer follows a similar process for creating an image repository as well as a driver repository. Follow the steps given below to create a driver repository:

1. Under the Drivers tab, select Driver repository.
2. Select Add driver repository.
3. Specify a unique driver repository name.
4. Select the remote office under which the repository is to be located.
5. Specify the share path, the network share where you want to store the drivers detected from imaged system.
6. Select or add the credential to access the driver repository. Ensure that the specified credential has Read and Write permission to access the share.
7. Specify the IP Address and FQDN of the computer where the shared network path is configured. This is optional.
8. Specify the IP Address and FQDN of the computer where the shared network path is configured. This is optional.
9. Select OK.

You have successfully created a driver repository.

The automatically detected drivers from the imaged system and from the system where Endpoint Central agent is installed, will always be stored in the primary driver repository. If you had already created a driver repository, you will have the option to set this new repository as a primary driver repository.

From then on, the automatically collected drivers will be stored in the new primary driver repository. However, the drivers in the old repository will still be used for deployment purposes. You can also move the drivers that were already collected to this new repository.
