With these two core features and a couple of other helpful utilities the POS plug-in bridges the gap between initial POS terminal deployment/redeployment, and management of POS on a “steady state” basis.
5.2 Installing the POS plug-in
Installing the plug-in is quite easy, requiring only three simple steps:
Stop the Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment server service.
Copy the POS plug-in module into the Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment packages directory.
Restart the server service.
The Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment server service is called “Rembo Server”. The plug-in file is called “pos.pak”
The POS plug-in can be installed from the Windows graphical interface (GUI) or from a command prompt. We installed the plug-in on our “production” server (NICE) using the Windows GUI. We used the command line to install it on our “development and test” server (BERLIN).
.
Note: You must be logged in to Windows as a member of the administrators group in order to install the POS plug-in.
The POS plug-in requires Tivoli Provisioning Manager for OS Deployment Fixpack 3 to be applied.
5.2.1 Obtaining the POS package
The POS plug-in module is available to IBM customers who are using Tivoli Provisioning Manager for Operating System Deployment. At the time of this writing, the distribution channel for the POS module has not yet been determined. Readers are encouraged to check IBM’s web site or contact their IBM service representative to obtain the latest version. General information about IBM POS terminals is available on IBM’s web site at:
