Dell Wyse Management Suite Version 3.x and 4.x Deployment Guide

PDF

Remote repository

Wyse Management Suite allows you to have local and remote repositories for applications, operating system images and so on. If the user accounts are distributed across geographies, it would be efficient to have a separate local repository for each of the distributed user account so the devices can download images from its local repository. This flexibility is provided with WMS_Repo.exe software. The WMS_Repo.exe is a Wyse Management Suite file repository software that helps to create distributed remote repositories which can be registered with Wyse Management Suite. The WMS_Repo.exe is available only for Pro license subscribers only.

Prerequisites

  • If you are using Wyse Management Suite with cloud deployment, go to Portal Administration > Console Settings > File Repository. Click Download version x.x and download the WMS_Repo.exe file
  • The server requirements to install Wyse Management Suite repository software are:
    • Windows 2012 R2 or Windows 2016 Server Standard
    • 4 CPU
    • 8 GB RAM
    • 40 GB storage space
NOTE:From Wyse Management Suite 3.6, the repository installation is supported on Windows 2016 and Windows 2019 virtual machines that are hosted on Azure and Amazon Web Services (AWS). It is not supported on Google Cloud Platform. After you install the repository, the repository URL is displayed as the hostname of the virtual machine. The URL may not be reachable by the end points. To enable the URL to be reachable to the end points, the repository URL must be edited and the DNS name of the virtual machine must be used as the URL before registering to Wyse Management Suite. For example, uw2-wmstest-vw01.westus2.cloudapp.azure.com is a sample of the Azure virtual machine DNS address and ec2-3-141-79-165.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com is a sample of the AWS virtual machine DNS address.
