Zero Touch Installation Deployment Feature Team Guide

Modify the CustomSettings.ini file to include the DefaultGateway literal value in the Priority line (as illustrated in Listing 102).

[Settings]
...
Priority=MacAddress, DefaultGateway, Default
...

Listing 102. Excerpt from Customsettings.ini that illustrates the database section

The DefaultGateway value causes the ZTI rules engine to look for a section named [DefaultGateway]. The [DefaultGateway] section contains pointers to other sections that have the actual application package settings.

Create [DefaultGateway] section (as illustrated in Listing 103).

[DefaultGateway]
192.168.0.1=HOUSTON
11.1.1.11=REDMOND
172.28.20.1=REDMOND
...

Listing 103. Excerpt from Customsettings.ini that illustrates [DefaultGateway] section

As illustrated in Listing 103, in the “REDMOND” section there are two different default gateway values (11.1.1.11 and 172.28.20.1). In the “HOUSTON” section there is only one default gateway value (192.168.0.1). You can use this method to deploy location-specific packages to REDMOND and HOUSTON.

Create a section for each of the default gateways specified in the [DefaultGateway] section (as illustrated in Listing 104).

[REDMOND]
SQLServer=RED-SQL-01
 
[HOUSTON]
SQLServer=HOU-SQL-01

Listing 104. Excerpt from Customsettings.ini that illustrates SQL server selection based on the default gateway

Based on configuration settings in Listing 104, different SQL servers are used for client computers in REDMOND in comparison to HOUSTON.
