Using Push Install

ShadowControl Push Install lets you manage the installation and update of the following components of the Arcserve Solution:

• ShadowProtect SPX, ShadowProtect 5 and ImageManager (v7.0.6 or newer)
• ShadowControl Agent

Before configuring a Push Install job, be aware of the following:

• The ShadowControl agent is a prerequisite for all other component installations, so ShadowControl automatically installs the ShadowControl agent and subscribes the EndPoint if needed.
• Note: ShadowControl installs the EndPoint agent directly from the ShadowControl appliance.
• ShadowControl always installs the latest version of ShadowProtect, ShadowProtect SPX or ImageManager, downladed to the EndPoint from Arcserve's public download URL. Because of this, EndPoints require internet access when using Push Install.
• ShadowControl requires that you activate all ShadowProtect and ImageManager installations using licenses stored in the License Pool, or generated through the MSP section of the Partner Portal.
• To protect limited appliance and network resources, Push Install is a linear operation; meaning that a push install job involving multiple EndPoints proceeds one EndPoint at a time.
