Enrollment via USB drive

An unconfigured device can be enrolled using a USB drive loaded with an Enrollment bundle. (See Creating an Enrollment bundle.)

Download the Enrollment bundle, manifest.og from a Lighthouse instance as follows:

1. Select CONFIGURE > NODE Enrollment > Enrollment Bundles. A list of existing Enrollment Bundles displays.

2. In the Actions column of the particular bundle, click the download button, a downward arrow in a circle.

3. Depending on the browser’s configuration, a manifest.og file either downloads to the local system or displays a dialog asking to specify where to download the file.

To enroll a node via USB drive:

1. Copy manifest.og to the root directory on a USB drive.

2. Plug the USB drive into an unconfigured and powered-down console server.

3. Power the console server up.

On first boot, the device searches for the file — manifest.og — on any USB drives attached to the device and configures the device based on its contents.
