Introduction

The HP ThinPro Linux-based operating system was initially designed for t5545

hardware with 512MB of flash. HP ThinConnect was designed for t5145 hardware

with 128Mb of Flash. HP recently released a light version of HP ThinPro designed to

fit on 128Mb Flash, giving HP customers the ability to use HP ThinPro as an

alternative to HP ThinConnect on the t5145 platform.

This white paper explains various methods of migrating an existing t5145 HP Thin

Client from HP ThinConnect to HP ThinPro.

Note:

Customized settings will not be preserved when migrating

from HP ThinConnect to HP ThinPro.

Why Choose HP ThinPro over HP ThinConnect for

the HP t5145 Thin Client?

Improved GUI Experience

The HP ThinPro GUI was built around a Control Center console to provide

dashboard access to all user and administrative touch points. The initial view

defaults to a Connection Manager layer with single click access to either a Control

Panel or a System Information page.

The Connection Manager layer was designed to better integrate traditional

connection types with newer ones, such as VDI brokers, into one menu with shared

access to all settings. This will reduce the number of hops into different areas of the

interface while providing the administrator with immediate visual feedback from

one centralized view.

Add-on Support

HP ThinPro has the ability to accept modular software updates called add-ons,

while protecting critical parts of the file system from exposure. These add-ons allow

HP to deliver low bandwidth component updates from supported third-party

vendors as they become generally available to the public. Another benefit to add-

on support is having the ability to quickly deliver quality improvements in-between

image release dates.

Citrix Desktop Appliance (CDA) Mode

HP ThinPro includes a Citrix utility which enables a dedicated full screen

XenDesktop/XenApp experience. Once enabled, every boot will deliver a premium

XenDesktop/XenApp experience in a controlled environment to reduce desktop

complexity.

Things You Should Know Before Upgrading…

It is important to understand that HP ThinPro is an alternative to HP ThinConnect on

the t5145 hardware platform, but it is not designed to be a direct replacement with

100% functional parity. While the two operating systems were built with very

similar objectives, they are not functionally equal. Below is a list of HP ThinConnect

functions which are not equally supported in HP ThinPro.

Stateless Architecture

While HP ThinPro supports a convenient stateless mode of operation, it does not

support the granularity found in HP ThinConnect. For example, HP ThinConnect

enables the administrator to selectively choose which settings can be preserved

locally and which settings are retained on an FTP repository.

HP ThinPro takes a different approach, allowing administrators to choose either a

fully stateless mode where settings are retained on an FTP repository, or a persistent

mode (recommended) where settings are preserved locally. Both stateless and

persistent modes of operation allow each desktop to automatically inherit profile or

image updates at power-on.

User Group Brokering

HP ThinConnect supports user group brokering by separating general settings from

user-specific settings. This allows user groups with different access needs to acquire

dedicated configurations.

HP research has indicated that user group brokering is handled more effectively

either by server-based connection broker software such HP Session Allocation

Manager (SAM), or by remote desktop management tools such as HP Device

Manager. HP recommends that you consider these utilities, or similar third party

products, to address your desktop brokering needs.

Creating a Master Image

Download the Factory Image

You can easily download the HP ThinPro factory image for t5145 to a USB drive

key using the SoftPaq available on www.hp.com: HP ThinPro for HP t5145 Thin

Client (128 MB).

This SoftPaq provides a Win32 InstallShield wizard which will help you to turn your

USB drive key into a bootable USB drive key that will install the ThinPro image onto

yo u r t 5145.

Create the Master Image on an HP t5145 Thin Client

Install the HP ThinPro factory image on an HP t5145 thin client. (Plug the USB drive

key into a t5145 and turn on the thin client—the image is automatically installed.)

Make whatever changes you need to create your corporate master image (for

instance, you may want to enable Altiris, set the first boot order to network, etc.).

You will use this thin client to supply your master image when you reimage your

thin clients.

Deploying the Master Image—Single Deployment

Capturing the Master Image

1. On the HP ThinPro image, switch to the Administrative Mode:

a. Position your cursor in the screen background, right-click, and select

Administrator/User Mode Switch.

b. Type the Administrator password in the field and click OK.

NOTE

The default password is root.

2. Click Control Panel > Management > ThinState to open the HP ThinState utility.

3. Under What do you want to manage?, select the HP ThinPro image.

4. Under Which action do you want to do?, select make a copy of the HP ThinPro

image, and then click Next.

5. Under Where do you want to save the image?, select create a bootable USB

flash drive, and then click Next.

6. Insert a USB drive key into the USB connector. Select the USB drive key, then

click Finish.

Deploying the Master Image

Insert the USB drive key with the HP ThinPro master image into an HP t5145 thin

client and turn on the thin client—the image is automatically installed.

Deploying the Master Image—Mass Deployment

If you are deploying the new image to more than a few thin clients, remote

deployment makes much more sense. Select from the following three procedures:

•HP ThinConnect to HP ThinPro Using HPDM/PXE

•HP ThinConnect to HP ThinPro Using Altiris

•HP ThinConnect to HP ThinPro Using FTP Update

HP ThinConnect to HP ThinPro Using HPDM/PXE

Before you begin this procedure, you will need a copy of your master image on a

bootable USB drive key.

Setting Up the Master Thin Client

No setup is required.

Capturing the Master Image

1. On the console, click the ThinPro tab.

2. Click the master thin client in the Device Tree pane.

3. Click Imaging in the Task Template pane.

4. Double-click _PXE Imaging to open the Template Editor Imaging window.

5. Click the Content tab, and then click Pull PXE image from device in the Action

area.

6. In the PXE Image area, type a PXE Image Name in the field.

7. Click Save As and type a template name in the field. Click OK.

8. Locate and select the new template in the Task Template list.

9. Click and drag the template to the master thin client in the Device Tree pane.

10. Click OK.
