Linking Quest KACE appliances

Enable appliance linking

Generate KACE Linking Hash

Add Names and Keys to appliances

Disable linked appliances

If you have multiple Quest KACE appliances, you can link them. Appliance linking enables you to log in to one appliance and access all linked appliances from the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the Administrator Console, without having to log in to each appliance separately.

You must enable linking on each K-Series appliance, and configure the link connections on each appliance, such as Names and Keys. If the appliance that you are adding is SSL enabled, use SSL to establish a successful connection.

Linking the Remote Site Appliance (RSA) establishes the RSA as an extension of the appliance, which enables you to synchronize the components you want to use at the remote site. You can network boot, perform system image and scripted installation deployments, and migrate users profiles to devices at remote sites.

You cannot transfer resources or components among linked appliances. See Importing and exporting appliance components.

NOTE: Linking K3000 appliances requires setting up LDAP authentication for each appliance. See Configure an LDAP server for user authentication.
