There is no 'official' upgrade for thinclient from smeserver 6.x to 7.x, but if you:

*uninstall the current version before upgrading to smeserver 7.x (rpm -e smeserver-thinclient) and
 
−
*install the newer version after your upgrade (as per [[Thinclient#Installation|install]]),

you just need to leave everything in your /tftpboot/ directory and move the /home/e-smith/pxeclients file across to /home/e-smith/db/thinclient. eg.

mv /home/e-smith/pxeclients /home/e-smith/db/thinclient

Enable via the server manager panel and everything should still be there.

smeserver-thinclient
The latest version of smeserver-thinclient is available in the SME repository, click on the version number(s) for more information.


Description

This contribution adds a server manager panel that allows an administrator to manage thinclient workstations (ie. workstations that are using the pxeboot protocol to retrieve a boot image from the server).

For usage see this page.

Requirements

  • smeserver >= 10.0
  • The thinclient workstations are receiving their dhcp info from your smeserver.
  • A tftp-server, either on your smeserver or another server in your domain (I have also created a contrib to install a tftp server on your smeserver).
  • The thinclient workstations have a PXE capable NIC and BIOS. (although booting from usb stick, floppy & CD is possible. Please refer to the documentation of your thinclient OS).

Installation

This contrib is held in the smecontribs repository, so the following commands will install on your smeserver. 

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-thinclient

You will then need to activate the database changes, re-order the navigation menu, etc. 

signal-event post-upgrade
signal-event reboot

Go to the Thin Clients panel on Server Manager (within the Configuration section) and 'enable' etc.
