8. Upgrading or Repairing a
2X ThinClientServer Installation
Upgrading
your installation could not be easier. The process is as follows:
Upgrade
the “Master” ThinClientServer
If
you have installed one or more “Slave” ThinClientServers, you should
then upgrade them one by one
Logon
to the Management Console of the “Master” server and upload a zip
file containing a new version of the ThinClientOS as shown on the front page of
the Management Console. All uploads should be done on the “Master”
server
Select
a newer version of the 2X ThinClientOS for a particular thin client and boot up
the new version
Verify
that everything works as expected
Select
the newer version of the 2X ThinClientOS as the default version for all your
installation
Upgrading 2X

Run
setup by double-clicking on the file
ThinClientOS-6_x-setup.exe.

If
you have multiple network cards, or multiple IP addresses on one network card,
setup will ask you for the IP address to which the 2X ThinClientServer must
bind. Select Auto unless you want to exclude a particular network
card.

After
all the files are copied setup will ask you whether you want to create a 2X
ThinClientServer farm or join an existing farm. If this is the first time you
are installing 2X ThinClientServer, choose “Create Farm”. If you
want to add a 2X ThinClientServer to an existing installation to improve the
deployment of thin clients in large installations, then choose “Join
Farm” and enter the IP address of the 2X ThinClientServer hosting the
farm (typically the first 2X
ThinClientServer).
