Remote Site Appliance setup requirements

The RSA requires a free IP address to assign to the RSA and VMware® or Hyper-V® host software, such as VMware ESXi™, VMware vSphere®, or Microsoft® Windows® Hyper-V. The RSA configurable DHCP server scope enables devices to network boot to the RSA. Devices that cannot network boot require a bootable ISO file or a USB KACE Boot Environment (KBE). The boot DVD requires setting option 066 or 244 to recognize the appliance.

RSA setup requirements

Table 4. RSA setup requirements

Requirement	Description
KACE Systems Deployment Appliance	Install and configure the appliance to download the RSA.
RSA License	Use the same appliance license key sent to you by Quest KACE.
Virtual Machine host	See the RSA host system requirements.
Network settings	Assign a static IP address and (optional) host name to the RSA. Save the RSA data on the RSA or to a virtual disk.
Optional: LDAP	Use the LDAP server IP address or host name.
Network boot configuration	For Windows devices: The DHCP server scope that directs the network boots to the RSA on the remote DHCP scopes. For Mac devices: The NetBoot server that directs Mac BSCP requests from the remote devices to the RSA.

RSA host system requirements

The device at the remote site that hosts the RSA must meet recommended requirements. For details, see the Technical Specifications for Virtual Appliances.
